India’s UPI digital payments network is now live in Greece, marking another expansion of its international footprint. Multiple reports say the rollout is enabled through a partnership involving Eurobank and NPCI International Payments Limited, which connects local payment capabilities with UPI for transactions in Greece. The network supports instant and secure digital payments at participating merchants, with payment convenience linked to QR-based or merchant acceptance in the country. Sources also describe the practical impact for Indian travellers, who can use UPI to pay for everyday purchases such as meals and shopping at locations where the service is available, reducing dependence on cash and international cards.
NDTV and Times of India further state that Greece becomes the tenth country to offer UPI in some form. They add that UPI access in different markets can include cross-border remittance options as well as merchant payments, depending on local arrangements. Overall, the reports present the Greece launch as part of UPI’s ongoing effort to broaden its presence internationally and provide a consistent payment option for Indians travelling abroad.
