This feature enables them to pay bills, shop, and more with their international mobile numbers linked to their NRE/NRO bank accounts at ICICI Bank.

They can access this service through the iMobile Pay app. Before this, NRIs needed to register an Indian number to make UPI payments.

ICICI Bank used the international infrastructure that NPCI set up for UPI in various countries to enable this feature.

The daily transaction limit for UPI is Rs 1 lakh. For new users, it’s ₹5,000 on the first day, then Rs 1 lakh. All UPI transactions occur in Indian Rupees.

Currently, NRIs can make all UPI transactions for free. To activate UPI on an international mobile number, follow the steps in the next slide
