No More Hassle with Cash Exchange! Merchants Using LOLC KHQR can now Accept Payments from Indian Tourists!

Phnom Penh, July 28, 2026: Merchants using LOLC KHQR across the country now have greater opportunities to attract and serve Indian tourists by accepting payments from mobile banking applications that use the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), one of the most popular digital payment systems in India, through LOLC KHQR.

With more than 20,000 LOLC KHQR merchant locations nationwide, this new payment capability will help merchants welcome international customers more easily, increase sales opportunities, and provide a fast, secure, and cashless payment experience.

Whether it is a hotel, restaurant, retail store, café, transportation service, or other business, merchants with LOLC KHQR can immediately accept payments from Indian tourists. Customers simply need to scan the LOLC KHQR using their mobile banking application that is a member of the UPI network.

Accepting payments through this digital system not only helps reduce the use of cash, but also enables businesses to process transactions more quickly, reduces the need for currency exchange, and makes it more convenient to welcome customers from overseas.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Tourism, more than 77,000 Indian tourists visited Cambodia in 2025. This growth has created new opportunities for local merchants to attract international customers and increase revenue by offering payment options that customers are familiar with and already use in their home country.

Benefits for merchants using LOLC KHQR at their business locations:

  • Attract Indian tourists and increase sales opportunities
  • Receive payments quickly, securely, and conveniently
  • Reduce the need to handle cash and exchange currencies
  • Manage business income more easily and efficiently
  • Earn interest of up to 4% per annum on account balances with LOLC

Mr. Sok Voeun, Chief Executive Officer of LOLC (Cambodia), said: “We want LOLC KHQR merchants to benefit more from the growing number of international tourists. Enabling merchants to accept payments from Indian tourists is one step toward helping merchants expand their markets, increase sales, and provide a better service experience for their customers.”

He added: “LOLC remains committed to developing digital payment solutions that benefit both merchants and consumers. We believe that providing convenient payment options for tourists will help local businesses improve and contribute to driving Cambodia’s digital economy.”
