Unified Payment Interface (UPI) in the Maldives – A Boon For Indian Travellers

In a move that will benefit local tourism, the Maldivian president, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced last October that the country would introduce India’s UPI or Unified Payment Interface. Indians travelling to this popular holiday destination and looking for the best place to stay in Maldives can look forward to this convenient real-time payment system that will help to encourage more visitors. The decision by the president to implement UPI was taken after the recommendation of the cabinet and also followed India’s agreement to share expertise in financial and digital services.

Apart from boosting arrivals, this move is expected to increase efficiency in financial transactions and improve digital infrastructure as well. India continues to be a key tourism source market for the Maldives which will be looking to welcome more Indian visitors this year. Private island resorts like Adaaran Club Rannalhi remain a popular choice for travellers not just from India but around the world, wanting to enjoy the very best of this South Asian nation.
