NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd. (NBBL), in association with Federal Bank and Lulu Exchange, has announced the official rollout of the cross-border inward bill payment service for NRIs in Bahrain.

This launch comes on the back of a successful launch with Lulu International Exchange UAE at the Global FinTech Festival in Mumbai on 20th September, 2022.

The service marks a significant milestone in India’s digital payments landscape, offering a much-needed solution for Indian expats, who until now had to depend on conventional methods to pay their domestic utility bills.

NRIs can now leverage the robust platform offered by Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) to make bill payments on behalf of their families, through LuLu Exchange’s network of branches and its money transfer app, LuLu Money.

Chaturvedi, CEO at NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd. (NBBL), said, "With the launch of this service, we aim to provide the convenience and ease of paying bills through our BBPS platform to Non-Resident Indians.”

Shalini Warrier, Executive Director, Federal Bank said, “We believe this direct bill payment facility will delight the beneficiaries as it enables a convenient, secure, and seamless bill payment experience.

We congratulate and thank NPCI and Lulu International Exchange for this partnership” Adeeb Ahamed, Managing Director, LuLu Financial Holdings, said, “The service facilitates a crucial segment of cross-border payments for the NRI community, giving them greater control in meeting the domestic expenses of their families back home. Lulu Exchange is proud to partner with Federal Bank and NBBL to make this a reality for our customers.”
