Rupay-based credit card on UPI platform: Key Points

  • The Reserve Bank of India authorised the connection of credit cards to UPI in June; UPI had previously been utilised as a “pay now” option.
  • Users will benefit from more convenience as a result of the change, which will also expand the adoption of digital payments.
  • For online financial transactions, RuPay is a technology platform that offers end-to-end security solutions.
  • Credit cards are not offered by RuPay. In India, only banks have the authority to issue credit cards.
  • The bank will use the RuPay technology network when a customer uses a RuPay credit card.
  • Here, RuPay is in charge of the technology connection to ensure that the transaction goes off without a hitch.
  • Every transaction would be reimbursed by the bank to RuPay.

Factors of popularity of UPI

  • The zero MDR is one of the main factors contributing to UPI’s popularity.
  • MDR is a charge that merchants pay to banks for processing payments that is based on a portion of the transaction.
  • While other debit cards have a fee ranging from 0.4% to 0.9%, RuPay debit cards do not have an MDR.

The MDR for credit cards, which ranges from 2% to 3% of the transaction value, has no ceiling, though. Compared to Mastercard or VISA credit cards, RuPay credit cards often have a lower MDR.
