Collaboration underscores commitment to delivering integrated payment solutions, says J.P. Morgan
Mumbai-headquartered Mindgate Solutions and J.P. Morgan Payments have announced a major milestone in their collaboration: the successful deployment of a next-generation UPI infrastructure that is powering real-time collections and payouts for J.P. Morgan Payments’ corporate and merchant clients in India.
The initiative builds on an engagement already live with Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) on Mindgate’s platform and extends it to UPI — designed for the scale and complexity of one of the world’s most dynamic digital payment markets, announced the two partners at the Global Fintech Festival 2026 held in Mumbai.
The UPI infrastructure will run on Mindgate’s Unified Digital Payment Hub (UDPH), a cloud-based payments platform designed for high reliability providing the scale, resilience, and flexibility required to support the world’s largest real-time payments networks. Designed to continuously adapt to market and client requirements, the platform enables rapid rollout of new innovative capabilities while maintaining uninterrupted service availability. On this platform, J.P. Morgan Payments will enable seamless, high-volume payment flows for its merchant and corporate clients, supporting Instant collection use-cases from QR to Intent flows to UPI Autopay.
“UPI is the backbone of how India transacts today. Our collaboration with J.P. Morgan Payments on a next-generation UPI infrastructure reflects exactly that — helping one of the world’s leading payments businesses meet India’s real-time payments ecosystem,” George Sam, Co-founder & Business Head, Mindgate Solutions, said in a release on 11 Sept.
“UPI operates at a volume and velocity that few payment rails in the world demand and building infrastructure for a business of J.P. Morgan Payments’ scale meant designing for that reality from day one. Every part of the architecture, from real-time regulatory checks to how we isolate and recover from failure, is engineered so J.P. Morgan Payments can run mission-critical UPI volumes with full confidence,” said Guhan Muthuswamy, Co-founder & Software Architect, Mindgate Solutions.
“India continues to lead the world in real-time payments innovation. Deploying our UPI infrastructure is a major milestone in our India payments strategy. By combining local payment rails like UPI and IMPS with J.P. Morgan Payments’ global network, we enable clients to seamlessly manage collections, disbursements, and cash flows.
“Together with Mindgate, we connect Indian payment innovation to global banking capabilities, including cross-border solutions, such as inward remittances through Rupee Drawing Arrangement (RDA) corridors. This integrated approach supported by globally consistent APIs helps clients move money faster, manage liquidity more efficiently, and deliver a ‘better payments experience’ across markets,” said Guhaprasath Rajagopal, Head of India Payments, J.P. Morgan Payments.
The collaboration underscores J.P. Morgan’s commitment to delivering integrated payment solutions at global scale, while reinforcing Mindgate’s role as a trusted technology firm enabling the future of real-time payments.
