Sri Lanka is the country where NPCI International Payments Limited is expanding UPI merchant acceptance to improve cross-border digital payments. This initiative enables Indian tourists to make seamless transactions using UPI through integration with LankaQR infrastructure. It reflects growing economic and technological cooperation between the two nations. The expansion also supports Sri Lanka’s digital economy by increasing the adoption of secure and efficient payment systems. With UPI handling billions of transactions monthly, this collaboration enhances financial connectivity and strengthens bilateral ties through modern digital infrastructure.
