Hello HN,

My name is Sudhanshu and I'm the Co-founder/CEO of Cheq UPI (https://www.chequpi.com). We are the first UPI wallet for foreigners and non-resident Indians travelling to India. Using Cheq, you can purchase almost any goods/services across India .

Just scan the merchant QR code / choose the pay by UPI id option to make the purchase. You don’t need an Indian bank account to operate Cheq UPI. Our prepaid wallet can be topped up with any international debit/credit card.

10mn+ foreigners visiting India each year, invariably face one of the below problems

1) Indian merchant not accepting international credit/debit cards

2) Unavailability of ATMs/money changers at remote locations

3) Indian merchants not tendering exact loose change

The Cheq UPI app was launched to help all these individuals travel cashfree across the country.

If know someone planning to visit India this year, please ask them to try us out!

A lot of time, hard work and luck has gone into building Cheq and we hope it’ll make travelling to India more convenient for citizens across the globe.

Some quick pointers to know about the Cheq UPI app:

- The Cheq UPI app works ONLY in India and we must verify your passport in-person before activating the UPI wallet.

- Once activated, you’ll be able to scan & pay with UPI anywhere across India.

- Funds can be added to the Cheq wallet using any international debit/credit card, you don’t need an Indian bank account / aadhaar card.

- Apart from the 10$ account opening fees, there are no other costs for using the product. Funds added can be spent anywhere across India.

I’ll be available to answer any questions you may have throughout the day about Cheq, UPI or Indian fintech in general.

Look forward to seeing you all try Cheq UPI

PS: We're continuously improving our services, so critical and constructive feedback is most welcome.
