The RBI announced that UPI will be linked with the TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) system of the European Union.
This move supports the G20 Roadmap to make cross-border payments cheaper, faster, and more transparent.
RBI and NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) have worked with the European Central Bank (ECB) to begin the realisation phase of the UPI–TIPS connection.
TIPS is the instant payment system operated by the Euro system (central banks of the euro area).
The UPI–TIPS link will help enable easy and quick cross-border remittances between India and the European Union.
