Synopsis:<\/strong> With the rise in credit card usage in India the NPCI introduced Rupay, one of the first of its kind. This article talks about the 5 best RuPay credit cards that one can use for travel.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When NPCI introduced RuPay in 2012, it marked the beginning of financial independence. India’s credit card industry before the arrival of RuPay was a monopoly for foreign players such as Visa and Mastercard, which meant that a considerable portion of every transaction fee would have exited the country. But then RuPay revolutionized the sector with its domestic payment infrastructure, reducing interchange fees and bringing millions of previously underserved Indians into the formal banking system, and gave rise to a new generation of cards tailored to Indian spending habits and travel patterns.<\/p>

The real change took place when RuPay became part of the UPI payments ecosystem. Users can connect their RuPay credit cards to popular mobile wallets like Google Pay and PhonePe, earn credit card reward points, and use their cards to pay even for the smallest UPI transactions, which Visa and Mastercard versions do not support. However, RuPay cards’ attractiveness for travellers is not limited to any sort of patriotism. Indeed, there are some highly effective RuPay cards which provide free or inexpensive lounge access, no forex loading, fast reward points on travel reservations, and minimal annual fees. Here’s an insight into five of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
