Here's how you can use credit cards for payments via PhonePe, Paytm, Gpay(Google Pay) & BHIM
In
recent years, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has experienced a remarkable
surge in popularity throughout India. Consider this: In March 2023, the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) said daily UPI transactions crossed 360 million. The
integration of UPI with third-party applications such as Google Pay, Paytm,
PhonePe, and BHIM enables users to initiate transactions through their bank
accounts and debit cards effortlessly. But now these platforms have extended
their capabilities to select credit cards, offering users a broader range of
payment options.
First things first: To
utilise UPI with your credit card, you’ll need to apply for a RuPay credit card
from a bank that supports this UPI feature such as Bank of Baroda, Axis Bank,
HDFC Bank, Punjab National Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Union Bank of India among
others. Once approved, you can manually link your physical card to payment apps
that are compatible with credit transactions on UPI.
Here are steps to link
your third-party apps such as GPay, Paytm, PhonePe with your Rupay Credit
card
Step 1: Open your app—Paytm/PhonePe/GPay and BHIM
Step 2: Click on your
profile at the right or left-hand corner
Step 3: Set up payment
methods
Step 4: Add RuPay credit
card
Step 5:
Enter the card details including, the expiry date, and PIN of your RuPay credit
card
Step 6:
Activate the card. To activate it, Tap “RuPay credit card on UPI” in your
profile
Step 7:
Your RuPay credit card is now ready for UPI payments.
Using the steps above RuPay Credit Card customers can directly link their credit cards with the UPI applications of their choice, such as BHIM, Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, MobiKwik and PayZapp.
PhonePe,
recently announced that it had achieved two significant milestones. The company
has become the first digital payments app to successfully enable the linkage of
200,000 RuPay credit cards to the UPI. In addition, PhonePe has also processed
a Total Payment Value (TPV) of Rs 150 crore via RuPay Credit on UPI.
Sonika
Chandra, Vice President of Consumer Platform and Payments at PhonePe, stated in
a press release, “We are thrilled to become the first payments app to link two
lakh Rupay credit cards to UPI. We believe that Rupay cards on UPI will
revolutionize the access and use of credit in the ecosystem, and we are committed
to offering comprehensive solutions that cater to the evolving needs of our
customers and merchants. Similar to any other credit instrument, MDR is
applicable for Rupay on UPI and our merchant partners are enthusiastically
adopting and driving the use of RuPay among customers.”
