Indian tourists can now pay with UPI in Malaysia

Business Nov 15, 2025

Heading to Malaysia? You can now pay just like you do at home—using your favorite UPI app.
Thanks to a new partnership between Curlec (Razorpay's Malaysian arm) and NPCI International, Indian travelers get instant payments in Ringgit, no need for international cards or currency conversion.

Malaysia joins the global UPI club

Malaysia is now among the countries where UPI works.
This move comes as more Indians are visiting Malaysia—over a million last year alone—and want easy ways to spend without cash hassles.

Why this matters for travelers and merchants

For Indian tourists, it means less stress about carrying cash or figuring out card fees.
For local shops in Malaysia, they get quick payments directly in Ringgit with no extra setup.
It's a win-win that makes travel smoother and spending easier on both sides.
