0.3-0.5% is still nowhere near the rates of visa and mastercard. Does UPI offer the same level of fraud protections or is it a free for all like Zelle is here in the states? Especially if they limit to > 2000 rupees.

Hopefully they allow foreigners some track to access UPI in the future.

Aren't debit transactions capped at 0.2% in the EU and credit 0.3%?

Visa & MasterCards actual take is way lower than that. The fees that merchants see on cards are mostly collected by the banks - "interchange".

Not cheap and only to business QR codes (so proper shops which probably will take credit card anyway), but it works.
