From Cash to QR: How Foreign Travelers Are Paying Seamlessly in India with One Game-Changing App

Download the Money App on the Play Store  or App Store   to start paying like a local in India — no Indian SIM, no Indian bank account needed.

India has become a destination of contrast — ancient traditions intertwined with cutting-edge digital advancements. Nowhere is that more evident than in how people pay.

If you've walked through a crowded Delhi market, tried to hail an auto in Jaipur, or bought chai on the streets of Mumbai, you've likely heard this phrase:
“Scan the QR code, please.”

💥  The UPI Revolution – But What About Tourists?

India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized the way people interact. Over 13 billion UPI transactions take place every month — from street vendors to luxury hotels, UPI is everywhere.  

But here's the problem:
Tourists and international travelers have been locked out of this ecosystem.

No Indian bank account?
No Indian phone number?
No chance —until now.

🚀  Meet Month: The UPI App Built for Tourists

Enter Mony — a mobile application that lets tourists and foreign nationals use UPI in India without needing an Indian SIM or bank account.    

It's as simple as:

  1. Download Monday  on the Play Store  or App Store 
  2. Upload your passport  for verification.
  3. Top up your Money wallet  using your international card.
  4. Scan any Indian merchant's UPI QR code  and pay instantly.

Just like that, you're part of India's fintech revolution.

✈️  A Traveler's Experience: “I Never Carried Cash in India Again”

Take Emily , a solo traveler from the UK. She landed in Delhi with a thick folder of rupees and card backups. 

“The cash exchange was stressful. Rates were inconsistent, and I was constantly anxious about pickpockets. Then someone at the Abu Dhabi airport lounge told me about Mony. I downloaded it before boarding — and I never looked back.”

By the time she reached her hotel, her Money wallet was topped up.
From Uber drivers to street food stalls, she paid everywhere with UPI — effortlessly.

"It made me feel local. No awkward conversations. No 'sorry, I don't have cash.' Just scan and go.”

🌐  We're Now Live at Abu Dhabi Airport

If you've passed through Abu Dhabi Airport , you might've seen us already. 

We've partnered with one of the busiest hubs for India-bound travelers to promote seamless access to Mony right before you board. It's the perfect place to get started before you even land in India.

🔍  The Problem We Solved (and Why You'll Love It)

Here's the thing — using cash in India can be unpredictable:

  • ATMs may not work with foreign cards.
  • Forex counters often charge a premium.
  • Credit cards are not accepted in many places.
  • Cash is bulky, unsafe, and inconvenient.

Now, with Mony, all that disappears.

You scan, pay, and move , just like 1.4 billion Indians do daily. 

💬  What Real Users Are Saying

Lucas (Germany):

“The app setup was smoother than I expected. I verified my passport in minutes and topped up via Visa. I paid for a rickshaw in Varanasi and a 5-star hotel dinner with the same app. That's insane.”

Amy (Australia):

“I found out about Mony in a Facebook travel group. It became my go-to app in India. The interface was clean, and I could track every rupee I spent.”
