Google Pay now supports RuPay credit card

Google Pay users can now add RuPay credit card from any bank for UPI transactions in India

With a simple easy-to-understand user interface, Google Pay is one of the most used digital wallets in India. Formerly known as GPay, it registers several lakh crores of value in terms of Unified Payment Interface (UPI) transactions across the country.

Now, in collaboration with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), it has announced support for RuPay Credit Card on the Google Pay app.
Just like debit cards, users can link their RuPay credit card to their Google Pay account.

“Google Pay is a partner to India's financial ecosystem - enabling millions of users to safely and conveniently make digital payments every day. This latest announcement is a reflection of our commitment to contribute to the Government’s vision to boost digital payments in India and play a significant role in the country's credit journey. This feature will give Google Pay users more flexibility and choice in making payments, and will drive greater adoption of digital payments in the country,” said Sharath Bulusu, Director of Product Management, at Google.
