With the new tooling, Indian expats in Bahrain will be able to pay their domestic utility bills in a streamlined manner. The services will be available in both a web interface and mobile applications. As noticed by WrathofKahneman, a pseudonymous community enthusiast of Ripple and XRP, two users of Ripple fintech decacorn rolled out a cross-border digital payment solution for Indian citizens staying in Bahrain.
NPCI Bharat BillPay in collaboration with Ripple clients Federal Bank and Lulu Exchange announced the official main net launch of a cross-border inward payment bill service. This launch is designed to allow non-residents of Bahrain to leverage digital payment services for payments in India. Previously, they had to rely on conventional payment methods.
Payments with the new service can be made either in the offices of LuLu Exchange or through its application for smartphone devices.
