RuPay BOBCARD credit card

Last month, BOBCARD announced that RuPay BOBCARD credit card holders have the option to convert their purchases into equated monthly installments (EMIs) by simply scanning a QR code using UPI (Unified Payments Interface) apps. The card users can easily link their RuPay credit card to popular apps such as Amazon Pay, BHIM, CRED, Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe. Furthermore, they have the flexibility to convert their UPI transactions into EMIs at any merchant that accepts UPI payments, whether online or offline.

This feature, introduced by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in April 2024, has been implemented by BOBCARD Ltd, a subsidiary of Bank of Baroda, making them one of the first to offer this service to their credit card users. It is expected that other banks will soon follow suit and provide this new feature for RuPay credit card holders.
