Posted on Wednesday, July 31st, 2024 | By IndusInd Bank
Among the safest and most convenient payment methods, many would put credit cards and UPI (Unified Payments Interface) at the top of the list.
But did you know now you can enjoy UPI transactions with the benefits of a credit card? The UPI credit card is a recent innovation, which combines the benefits of UPI’s seamless payment system with the advantages of a credit card. Let’s learn more about what a UPI credit card is, its benefits, and more.
Understanding UPI Credit Cards
- A UPI credit card allows users to link their credit card to a UPI app, which enables them to make UPI transactions from their credit card.
- This removes the need to carry a physical card or enter card details for each transaction.
- Once linked, it allows users to make payments using their credit card via the UPI interface.
- When you pay using UPI, the amount gets charged to your credit card instead of your bank account.
- This process simplifies the payment process for the customer and adds a new level of security.
Benefits of Using UPI Credit Cards
Now that you understand how a UPI credit card works, let’s look at the benefits it provides:
1. Convenience
UPI credit cards offer the convenience of making transactions with no physical cards or entering card details.
