Payment Giant Offers 32 Million Indian Expats a SWIFT Alternative

The business that created the foundation for India’s digital payments intends to make it less expensive and simpler for the 32 million Indians who live abroad to send money back home.

Indians living abroad sent back $87 billion last year, the most amount of any country the World Bank has been keeping track of. According to Ritesh Shukla, CEO of NPCI International Payments Ltd., the remittances industry is ripe for disruption because it costs $13 on average to move $200 across borders.

Shukla stated, “We have significantly reduced the use of cash in India and are attempting to replicate this achievement in cross-border corridors. “We will establish acceptability for our instruments in the markets where Indians travel regularly, and overseas Indians can use our railroads to deposit money directly into their bank accounts.”

Shukla emphasised that the goal was not to replace existing platforms, but rather to provide India with a homegrown alternative to SWIFT, the Belgian company that operates the cross-border payment system. The universal payment interface shared by 25 apps and about 330 banks, including WhatsApp by Meta Platform Inc. and Google Pay by Alphabet Inc., has helped India’s $3 trillion instantaneous digital transactions market grow.

In order to duplicate its domestic success, NPCI is currently linking the UPI platform to systems in other nations. According to Shukla, it is discussing partnerships with governments, fintech firms, and service providers all across the world in an effort to lower transaction costs and facilitate more small-ticket transactions.

Saving money
According to Mayank Goyal, CEO of moneyHop, a cross-border banking software that enables users to send money abroad over the SWIFT network, “this is going to take the payments world by storm.” Goyal stated that because UPI rails facilitate cross-border payments, the business will work to incorporate them into the app.

The Reserve Bank of India stated in a report that UPI’s connections with foreign countries will further anchor commerce, travel, and remittance movements between the countries and reduce the cost of cross-border remittances.

Together with the nation’s lenders, the Reserve Bank of India established NCPI in order to speed up, expand accessibility, and lower the cost of retail payments. To rapidly transact with vendors and send money between friends or family, a user only requires a virtual payment address.

A day earlier, Bhagyashree posted a little clip from the gym showing her leg day training. With the little video showcasing how she like to focus on strengthening her legs and hamstrings, Bhagyashree banished our midweek blues. Bhagyashree may be seen in the video stretching her legs while sitting on a piece of exercise equipment. The actor can be seen resting on her chest and extending her hamstrings later in the video. “It’s crucial to work on your quadriceps, which are the largest muscle in your body, during leg training days. However, it’s equally crucial to counteract that by developing the appropriate hamstring muscles “read a portion of her blog post.

Leg exercises have a variety of positive health effects. It aids in strengthening, shaping, and toning the legs. Leg exercises also support a healthy body weight, the maintenance of that weight, and the development of your core muscles.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
