NPST Wins Three Cooperative Bank Orders for Bank-in-a-Box

18 May 2026 CW Team

The Bank-in-a-Box offering is delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS) and is intended to give cooperative banks operational infrastructure to run offline merchant acquiring without building it themselves. The platform covers UPI, IMPS and Banking Connect processing as well as online and offline merchant acceptance, AI-driven fraud monitoring and an omnichannel SuperApp with over 400 banking services. The arrangement is structured to unlock recurring, multi-year revenue per bank and to bolster the company’s long-term recurring revenue pipeline.

NPST characterised the wins as strategic for expanding access to digital banking and payments in the cooperative sector, which the company said serves millions of customers but often lacks modern infrastructure owing to unfavourable economics of in-house development. The Bank-in-a-Box model is presented as enabling any cooperative bank to deploy services in weeks and access new revenue streams without significant capital outlay. NPST said the solution reduces time to market and operational burden for participating banks.

Founded in 2013, NPST is listed on the National Stock Exchange and BSE and operates as a technology service provider, a payment platform-as-a-service provider and an AI-powered regulatory technology provider serving banks, fintechs and financial institutions across the payments value chain. The company said the deployments will support its sustained growth and recurring revenue objectives. Contact details for media are listed on the company website.
