Paytm Launches Paytm SBI Card on RuPay Network with NPCI: Key Points
• Earlier this year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) enabled users to link RuPay credit cards to the United Payments Interface (UPI), and NPIC subsequently enabled aggregators such as Paytm, Google Pay, BharatPe, and PayU to facilitate merchant transactions on UPI in India using RuPay credit cards.
• Since NPCI’s launch of credit card services on UPI, we are constantly working towards providing unique, value-based RuPay credit cards.
• RuPay progressively establishes itself as a modern, contemporary, and youthful brand by offering customized value propositions backed by cutting-edge technology.
• The platinum and classic variants of this card will both provide 2% cashback on all Paytm ecosystem spends and 1% cashback on other purchases, excluding wallet reloads and fuel expenditures.
• Platinum cardholders will now be eligible for a 1% fuel surcharge waiver and Rs 1,000,000 in cyber fraud insurance coverage.
