SBI Card has joined hands with the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) to enable UPI payments for SBI RuPay Credit Card holders.
Starting from August 10, 2023, users of SBI Card’s RuPay credit card can seamlessly conduct UPI transactions.
This partnership also allows the utilization of the SBI card with third-party UPI payment apps.
Boosting UPI Payments
Ram Mohan Rao Amara, MD and CEO of SBI Card, highlighted the significance of this collaboration.
He expressed that this initiative not only empowers customers to make UPI payments through the RuPay platform but also enhances the overall UPI ecosystem.
This move is expected to encourage more individuals to opt for credit card-based payments, marking a revolutionary advancement in the digital payment realm.
No Additional Charges
Dilip Asbe, MD and CEO of NPCI, emphasized the ease and convenience of this association between NPCI and SBI Card.
He pointed out that this partnership offers new UPI payment avenues through the RuPay Credit Card.
Notably, the process of nominating an SBI credit card for UPI transactions is fee-free.
However, it’s important to ensure that the SBI credit card’s registered number is linked with UPI to enable a successful connection.
