From next year, the fast payment systems of Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand will be linked to UPI. Due to which the citizens of these countries will be able to make digital transactions of money through UPI. Indonesia can also join the UPI payment system in the future.
Let us tell you that RBI signed this agreement on Sunday.

This will increase more international cooperation between countries to speed up cross border digital transactions at a lower cost.
