Till date, only debit cards could be linked to UPI to do payments, but now the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)  has created the payment and settlement infrastructure in India, that will enable connecting credit cards with the UPI too.

Commenting on the development, Dilip Asbe, Managing Director & CEO of NPCI, said, “UPI, India’s very own payment system, has witnessed a journey to be one of the most popular systems in India and now embarking on its global journey. The addition of Bank of Baroda Credit Cards on UPI rails is a big milestone in the growth trajectory of both RuPay and UPI."

"RuPay Credit Cards’ linking with UPI is transforming the way in which credit consumption is perceived by the users in the country. The seamless and digitally enabled lifecycle of a credit card utility for a customer, with the added benefits of rewards, shall catalyse our dream of underwriting every Indian,” he summed up.
