Trinidad and Tobago to Adopt India's UPI as First Caribbean Nation
Trinidad and Tobago is set to become the first Caribbean nation to adopt India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) following a 2024 agreement between NPCI International Payments Limited and the country's Ministry of Digital Transformation. The initiative aims to establish a real-time, efficient digital payment system, enhancing financial infrastructure and interoperability. This development reflects growing bilateral ties, highlighted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit and multiple signed agreements fostering trade, investment, and technical cooperation between the two nations.
