POP, a fintech startup founded by former Flipkart employees, has introduced India’s first multi-brand co-branded credit card in partnership with RuPay and Yes Bank.

Cardholders earn POPcoins on every transaction, with enhanced rewards when using the card with POP UPI. The earning rate is 10% POPcoins on online transactions, 2% on offline transactions, and an additional 5% for POP UPI transactions. POPcoins can be redeemed within the POP app for products across various categories such as beauty, electronics, fashion, and home goods. Additionally, POPcoins can be used for purchases with the partner brands.
