India’s popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is on track to be introduced in Japan, enabling Indian tourists to make seamless digital payments during their visits. To help bring this initiative to life, NTT DATA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NPCI International Payments Limited. https://bit.ly/47dNCnS UPI allows secure and instant transfers between bank accounts through mobile payment apps. Since 2016, UPI has revolutionized digital payments in India, recording over 20 billion monthly transactions by August 2025, with a total value of $280 billion. “This collaboration marks an important milestone as we expand payment choices for inbound travelers from India,” said Masanori Kurihara, Head of Payments Services Sector, NTT DATA. By introducing UPI acceptance in Japan, shopping and payments will become more convenient for Indian tourists, while Japanese merchants gain new business opportunities. With Indian tourism to Japan rising, this initiative supports Japan’s cashless strategy and diversifies payment options for merchants. We look forward to a successful partnership that will redefine payments between India and Japan.
