RuPay Credit Card

Rupay is an indigenous payment network system in India conceived and launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2012. The primary objective behind introducing the Rupay Credit Card was to create a domestic alternative to international payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard, thereby reducing reliance on foreign payment systems.

Currently, RuPay has 3 general types of cards

  • RuPay Credit Card
  • RuPay Debit Card
  • RuPay Prepaid Card

Rupay Credit Cards have played a pivotal role in India's journey towards a cashless economy, empowering millions of individuals with access to secure and convenient electronic payment solutions. These cards are accepted at various points of sale (PoS), ATMs, and e-commerce establishments throughout India. For transactions abroad, these credit cards can be utilised at any PoS, ATM, or e-commerce platform enabled by Discover Financial Service (DFS).
