Now you can book visit to Eiffel Tower through UPI
MUMBAI: UPI platform has entered France through a collaboration between NPCI’s international arm NIPL and Lyra, a company specialising in online and proximity payments across 11 countries.
The initial application for UPI involves booking visits to the Eiffel Tower. Indian tourists can securely conduct online transactions using UPI-powered apps to scan the QR code on the merchant website and initiate payment.
While the Eiffel Tower is the first merchant to offer UPI payments in France, this service will soon extend to other merchants in tourism and retail, making it significantly easier for Indian tourists to remotely book hotels, museum visits, etc, during their stay in France, according to an NPCI statement. According to NPCI, Indian tourists rank as the second-largest group of international visitors to the Eiffel Tower.
In Jan 2024, UPI recorded over 1,220 crore transactions.
