The overseas arm of India’s National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) will build a digital payments system for Trinidad and Tobago, modeled after India’s United Payments Interface (UPI), according to a statement on Friday.

The NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) said its deal with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Trinidad and Tobago is to build a payments platform for both person-to-person and person-to-merchant transactions.

The NPCI, a quasi-regulator under the central bank, is a public non-profit organization that oversees India’s retail payment systems, including UPI, the country’s most popular mode of digital payments.

Earlier in the year, NIPL had agreed to develop digital payments systems for Peru and Namibia, using UPI as a blueprint.

The NPIL, carved out of the NPCI to promote the adoption of India’s payment systems overseas, is also in talks with African and South American countries to help them build payments systems, Reuters reported earlier this week.
