Friday 23 September 2022 15:08 CET | News

Netherlands-based TerraPay has partnered NPCI International Payments Limited to enable seamless merchant payments via UPI-enabled QR codes.

 

Customers and merchants in India with an active Unified Payments Interface Id (UPI Id) will now be able to initiate and accept cross-border payments seamlessly by leveraging TerraPay's infrastructure and the UPI network. 

Moreover, Indian customers with active UPI Ids will now be able to conduct transactions at QR locations enabled by TerraPay around the globe. The partnership will also increase the use of UPI and QR for cross-border merchant payments. TerraPay aims to introduce marginalized or underserved communities into the mainstream of digital payments while improving interoperability among its different services.

The Unified Payments Interface was developed by the National Payments Corporation of India, and according to newswire.ca, it enjoys popularity in India when it comes to person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions.

Official representatives from NIPL cited by newswire.ca revealed that they are actively engaging with partners across the world to build partnerships in areas of cross-border acceptance and remittances. The TerraPay strategic partnership aims to improve the overall customer value proposition and provide user-friendly, convenient transaction alternatives to consumers around the world.
