Today, UPI has become a massive digital platform enabling millions of transactions every day. This should give our customers greater flexibility and mobility along with hassle-free usage. With this, the industry will witness a significant increase in credit card usage.”

Dilip Asbe, MD & CEO, NPCI said, “The addition of SBI RuPay Credit Cards on UPI rails is a big milestone in the growth trajectory of digital payments in India. This partnership will enable seamless UPI payments for SBI RuPay credit cardholders, providing them with a digitally enabled credit card lifecycle experience.
