UPI Payment with RuPay Credit Card

UPI is Unified Payments Interface, meaning you can use multiple bank accounts on the same platform. With UPI, you need not provide account numbers or IFSC codes during transactions. It was developed by the National Payment Corporation of India. Say you downloaded the UPI app. And linked your SBI account, and Canara Bank accounts with the app. So far, with UPI you can use internet banking (of SBI or CANARA), and debit card (of SBI or CANARA) transactions for shopping. But cannot use credit cards. Now with RBI changing the rules, you can use credit cards as well. After RBI changed the rue, MobiKwik is the first fintech to launch this. Other companies are yet to launch.
