NPCI and BENEFIT Enable Cross-order payments between India & Bahrain

New Delhi. NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL), the global arm of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has announced a crucial partnership with BENEFIT, Bahrain’s leading fintech and electronic financial transactions company. This landmark collaboration establishes a secure, real-time cross-border remittance corridor between India and Bahrain.

Strategic Linkage of UPI and Fawri+

This strategic linkage directly connects India’s globally renowned Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with Bahrain’s Electronic Fund Transfer System (EFTS), specifically the popular Fawri+ service. A joint statement confirms that the agreement allows users in both countries to instantly and securely send and receive money. This way, it vastly simplifies the complex process of international transfers.

 

 

The partnership operates under the direct guidance of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB). It represents a key step in actively advancing cross-border payment connectivity between the two nations. The tie-up leverages the robust digital infrastructure each country has successfully built. Officials noted that the initiative perfectly aligns with the shared national vision to enhance digital financial inclusion. At the same time, the arrangement systematically modernises international transaction frameworks, moving away from legacy systems.
