Best Rupay Credit Cards in India 2023
Coined from the word Rupee and Payment, Rupay is India’s answer to American Payment networks Visa and Master. As the transaction fee for processing transactions by the foreign payment networks is high, RBI entrusted NPCI (National Payment Corporation of India) to develop a payment network to process digital payments. Since their launch, Rupay has made tremendous inroads into the Indian Payment market with over 60% of total cards issued in the country. Rupay Cards are issued by more than 700 banks in India and over 300 million cards have been issued till date.
The other advantage with RuPay cards is that you can link your accounts with UPI and begin making transactions conveniently. You will also receive enhanced security in the form of embedded EMV chip offering complete protection to high-value transactions. Rupay cards carry an inbuilt microprocessor circuit that carries information about the card owner. Following is the list of popular Credit Cards offered by RuPay.
