IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards on UPI payment portal: Things to know

Have you been using UPI to make payments? Take your UPI game to the next level by linking your credit card. It's a no-brainer. With UPI, you can pay instantly, while with credit cards, you can defer payments and earn rewards. Together, they make a powerful combination for managing your finances better. 

Let's learn more about UPI credit card payments and benefits. 

Make UPI payments with your credit card

In the past, you could pay with your bank account-linked UPI app or separately with your credit card. Now you can pay via UPI apps linked to a RuPay credit card. With credit card-linked UPI payments, you can spend up to your credit limit rather than your account balance. 

• Some of the other benefits of UPI's credit card payment option include: 
• Enjoy 100% cashback up to Rs. 200* on your first 4 UPI transactions
• Earn up to 3x never-expiring reward points on UPI spends
• Pay in a jiffy without entering credit card details, including OTPs or CVVs
• Scan and pay at 60 million+ merchants and QR codes
• Mobile and DTH recharges and all bill payments can be made from your credit card via your UPI app
• You also get cashback, rewards, and offers via UPI
• UPI transactions are eligible for free-credit periods on credit cards
