Pay any UPI QR in India, even without an Indian bank account
UPI Pay Assist helps visitors to India pay shops that accept UPI. You scan the shop's QR code and fund the payment in USDC, a US-dollar stablecoin. A verified local payer settles the rupee side over UPI, and the shop receives a normal UPI payment.
How it works
Who it is for
Visitors who hold USDC and want to pay Indian shops that only accept UPI. Local payers in India who want to exchange rupees for USDC by paying merchants on visitors' behalf.
Pricing
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Service fee (visitor) | 1.5% of the rupee amount, added to the USDC quote |
| Exchange rate | Shown on every quote before you pay; valid for that order |
| Local payers | No fee; they receive the USDC quoted for the order |
Orders are limited to ₹2,000 each. Prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) and USDC.
