Wizz Financial launches a cross-border wallet connecting UPI with remittances

0 4

Wizz Financial has launched the Wizz Financial App, a digital platform that brings remittances, foreign exchange, payments and other financial services together, with connectivity to India’s UPI ecosystem for residents, non-residents and eligible international customers.

The app was unveiled at the Global Fintech Festival 2026 and combines Wizz Financial’s digital capabilities with its India network, which serves more than 5 million customers through over 360 branches across 22 states.

Customers can use the platform for inward and outward remittances, foreign exchange, multi-currency prepaid cards, lending solutions, UPI transfers to India, bill payments and mobile recharges. The app also includes travel and visa-related services.

A key component is SWITCH, Wizz Financial’s proprietary interoperability infrastructure. It is designed to connect the company’s applications across the US, UAE and India with participating third-party wallets and financial platforms.

SWITCH enables money transfers across the Wizz Financial ecosystem, while the company’s proprietary payout network supports cross-border payouts to more than 80 countries.

The platform also connects Wizz Financial’s US and UAE offerings with India’s UPI ecosystem, enabling eligible users to make real-time transfers into Indian UPI accounts.

Through the UPI One World framework, eligible international visitors can use the Wizz Financial App to make cashless payments across India, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and prescribed limits.

Amir Nagammy, founder and group CEO, Wizz Financial, said the company was seeking to extend UPI’s reach beyond India through its cross-border infrastructure.

“UPI is one of the most powerful pieces of public digital infrastructure the world has ever built,” Nagammy said. “With SWITCH, we are bringing payments, wallets and cross-border money movement together across the US, UAE and India so that residents, non-residents and international customers can all move money through the same trusted rails.”

Krishnan R, director and CEO, Wizz Financial India, said the company’s branch network and digital services would allow customers to access financial services through a single platform.

“Wizz Financial has built the trust of millions of customers in India through accessibility and service excellence,” Krishnan said. “By combining our nationwide branch presence with our digital capabilities, we are giving customers a simpler and more convenient way to access and manage their financial needs.”

The launch is part of Wizz Financial’s strategy to build an integrated financial platform connecting customers and businesses across key cross-border economic corridors, including India, the GCC, Southeast Asia and the US.
