NPCI is partnering with HSBC India and JP Morgan Payments to provide real-time FX conversion for international UPI transactions.

Summary

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has entered into strategic partnerships with HSBC India and JP Morgan Payments to enhance cross-border UPI transactions. These collaborations aim to introduce real-time foreign exchange (FX) conversion and faster settlement processes, providing greater transparency and efficiency for Indian travelers making payments abroad.

Through the partnership with HSBC India, real-time exchange rates will be provided via direct API integration, allowing users to see the exact INR amount before completing a transaction. Simultaneously, the collaboration with JP Morgan Payments will leverage its FX and API capabilities to support end-to-end conversion and settlement across multiple currencies. These improvements are designed to reduce friction in international payments and support the growing global footprint of India's digital payment infrastructure, which is currently available in nine countries including Singapore, the UAE, and France.
