ICICI Bank introduces UPI payments via RuPay Credit Cards 

Mumbai: ICICI Bank today announced that it has integrated its RuPay Credit Cards with UPI transactions, enhancing the payment convenience for its customers. With this integration, ICICI Bank customers can simply link their RuPay Credit Cards to UPI to carry out Person-to-Merchant (P2M) transactions online- such as shopping, payment of utility bills—and offline- such as payments at a POS (point of sale) machine-- in an effortless and secure manner. Further, they can earn reward points on their spends, improving their digital payment experience.
 

The Bank has collaborated with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to enable UPI transactions on its RuPay Credit Cards. The customers can link ICICI Bank Coral RuPay Credit Card, ICICI Bank HPCL Super Saver RuPay Credit Card and ICICI Bank Rubyx RuPay Credit Card to UPI. They can scan the merchant QR code and make the payment from their RuPay Credit Cards using any UPI payment app including iMobile Pay.

This partnership is a significant step taken by the Bank to offer improved convenience to customers on digital payments.
