LOLC Cambodia Enhances Travel Experience for Indian Visitors with Cashless Payments
Indian visitors to Cambodia can now use UPI-enabled apps for cashless payments at over 20,000 merchants, enhancing convenience and supporting Cambodia's digital economy and tourism growth.
Indian visitors travelling to Cambodia can now enjoy a more convenient, secure, and cashless payment experience by using any Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-enabled app to pay at more than 20,000 merchants displaying LOLC KHQR across the country. UPI is India’s widely used real-time digital payment system that allows users to make instant payments through participating mobile payment applications. Whether visiting Cambodia for business, leisure, or family travel, Indian travellers can make seamless digital payments at hotels, restaurants, retail shops, transportation providers, and many other merchants across key destinations, including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and other provinces throughout the Kingdom. The process is simple: visitors scan a merchant’s LOLC KHQR code using their UPI-enabled app, confirm the payment, and complete the transaction instantly. This reduces the need to carry large amounts of cash or frequently exchange currency, making everyday spending easier, safer, and more transparent during their stay in Cambodia. According to tourism statistics published by Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism, more than 77,000 Indian visitors travelled to the Kingdom in 2025, reflecting Cambodia’s growing appeal as both a tourism and business destination. By enabling these visitors to pay digitally at LOLC KHQR merchants, the service supports a smoother visitor experience and helps local businesses better serve an important and growing travel segment. Supporting Cambodia’s Cashless Economy The expanded acceptance of digital payments at LOLC KHQR merchants supports Cambodia’s ongoing digital transformation and contributes to the country’s vision of building a more inclusive, convenient, and cashless economy. For local merchants, the service provides an additional opportunity to serve international customers more efficiently, reduce reliance on cash handling, and support smoother transactions across tourism-related businesses. LOLC Cambodia Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sok Voeun, said the initiative reflects LOLC’s commitment to delivering practical financial solutions that benefit both merchants and visitors. “At LOLC, we are committed to delivering innovative financial solutions that are simple, smart, and accessible. By enabling Indian travellers to pay seamlessly at LOLC KHQR merchants across Cambodia, we are helping create a more convenient travel experience while supporting local businesses to welcome more international customers,” said Mr. Sok Voeun. Enhancing the Visitor Experience As tourism and business travel between Cambodia and India continue to grow, convenient digital payment options at LOLC KHQR merchants will help make travel more seamless for Indian visitors while supporting Cambodia’s ambition to become a leading cashless destination in the region.
