On Feb 21, India and Singapore launched the linking of their real-time digital payments systems – UPI (India) and PayNow (Singapore).

After India and Singapore launched the linking of their real-time digital payments systems, the State Bank of India (SBI) will facilitate cross-border payments through its BHIM-SBI Pay app, as part of the linkage initiative between Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and Singapore's PayNow.
