 * Phase three of Project Nexus has been completed, with plans to expand participation
   to include the Reserve Bank of India and its Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
 * The establishment of the Nexus Scheme Organisation (NSO) will be pivotal in managing
   the Nexus scheme and achieving instant cross-border payments at scale, with support
   from the BIS in an advisory role.

[The Bank for International Settlements (BIS)](https://www.bis.org/) and partners
today announced that they have completed the comprehensive blueprint for phase three
of Project Nexus, which will allow ready participants to work towards the next stage
of seamlessly connecting their instant payment systems.

Phase three of the project has been completed, and phase four will expand the potential
user base to include India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The project’s goal
is to standardize the connection between domestic IPS, allowing for seamless cross-
border payments.

Phase four will see the participation of Bank Negara Malaysia, Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Bank of Thailand, and domestic
IPS operators, along with the Reserve Bank of India. This will expand the potential
user base to India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the world’s largest IPS. 
Bank Indonesia will continue its association with the project as a special observer,
following the project in the next stage of its development.
