Today, we're open sourcing the Universal Money Address (UMA) standard. It's just like email, but for money. Users of UMA-enabled banks, exchanges, and wallets will be able to send and receive money (fiat and crypto) seamlessly and in a fully interoperable way. This is early, but we hope you'll join us on this journey to build a better way to move money around the world. For more, check out https://uma.me and see below for Lightspark's solution to bring UMA to your users.

Nice, does it have geographical regulatory limitations? Seems to be similar to UPI implemented by the Government of India as part of the Digital India initiative.

This is great David Marcus. What is missing for widespread adoption of Bitcoin payments is a universal framework that cuts across fiat and crypto boundaries. Hopefully this will help lay the foundational rails of a global payment system.
