Hyderabad: NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), the international arm of National Payments Corporation of India, and PPRO, a leading global provider of local payments infrastructure, on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to partner together to expand and empower international growth of India's digital payments ecosystem.

Ritesh Shukla, CEO, NIPL, said: "The strategic collaboration with PPRO will result in a significant increase in online acceptance of RuPay Cards and UPI powered Apps, which in turn will empower Indian consumers to continue using their preferred payment modes hassle-free across the globe.
