First phase of India-Cambodia payment connectivity goes live
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday announced the launch of payment systems connectivity between India and Cambodia, allowing Indian travellers to make UPI-based QR code payments at merchants across the Southeast Asian nation.
The facility, launched in Phnom Penh on Tuesday, marks the first phase of collaboration between NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL) and Acleda Bank Plc under the aegis of the RBI and the National Bank of Cambodia.
Under the arrangement, Indian users can make real-time merchant payments at more than 4.5 million merchants enabled with Cambodia’s KHQR, the country’s national QR code standard, using UPI-enabled applications.
