The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recognized India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a global leader in fast and real-time digital payments. Developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), UPI has facilitated rapid inter-bank transactions and transformed the digital payments landscape in India. The IMF highlighted that India now processes payments faster than any other country due to the massive adoption of UPI. This widespread usage has led to a decline in the use of other payment instruments such as debit and credit cards. In June 2025 alone, UPI recorded over 18 billion transactions, demonstrating its exponential growth and significant reduction in cash usage. The IMF praised UPI's interoperable design and noted that it offers a blueprint for digital payment systems globally. The adoption of UPI has also contributed to India's leadership in fintech and the digital economy.
