Kotak Bank UPI RuPay Credit Card

The Kotak Bank UPI RuPay Credit Card lets you make fast and safe payments using popular UPI apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, BHIM, Slice, and Paytm. You can link this credit card to your UPI app and pay directly from your phone, just like you do with a bank account. What makes this card special is that only RuPay credit cards can be linked to UPI – cards from other networks don’t support this. Also, this is a lifetime free virtual card, which means you don’t have to pay any joining or yearly fees.

This card also gives you 3% rewards on every spend, whether you’re shopping in India or abroad. You can use the reward points to buy items or services from the Kotak Rewards catalogue. Since it’s on the RuPay network, you also get access to exclusive RuPay offers and can use it at most shops across India. If you often use UPI for payments but want the benefits of a credit card, this card is a smart and cost-free option.
