What is POP UPI?
POP UPI refers to a Pay-On-Presentation model of UPI-based payments. Instead of entering payment details manually, users receive a payment request (or “POP”) which they can approve instantly via their UPI app. It’s fast, secure, and ideal for real-time checkouts both online and offline.
Why Combine POP UPI & Credit Card?
Now, imagine combining the power of POP UPI with the benefits of using a credit card — cashback, reward points, EMI options, and improved cash flow. Many UPI apps in India (like Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay) now allow users to link their credit cards (especially RuPay cards) to their UPI accounts.
This gives users the best of both worlds:
-
✔️ Convenience of UPI
-
💳 Perks & Flexibility of Credit Cards
Key Benefits
1. Speed & Simplicity
POP UPI requests make the payment process nearly instant. No need to type in VPA or bank details — just tap and approve.
2. Use Credit Card for UPI
By linking your RuPay credit card to UPI, you can now pay via UPI while the amount is billed to your credit card. This is perfect for users looking to earn rewards or defer payments.
3. Secure Transactions
All POP UPI and credit card payments are protected with multi-factor authentication and encryption, ensuring your financial data stays safe.
4. Flexible Payment Options
Using credit cards with POP UPI gives users access to EMI options, higher spending limits, and better control over monthly expenses.
How to Use POP UPI with Credit Card
-
Install a UPI App – Download any UPI-enabled app (PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Google Pay, etc.).
-
Link Your Credit Card – Currently, only RuPay credit cards are supported on UPI platforms.
-
Receive POP Request – When you make a purchase, a payment link or QR code is presented.
-
Approve via UPI – Open your UPI app, approve the payment using your credit card as the payment source.
Final Thoughts
With digital payments evolving rapidly, combining POP UPI and credit card payments gives users the best possible experience. It’s fast, flexible, and full of benefits — whether you’re shopping online or paying at your favorite café.
As more merchants and platforms adopt this model, now is the perfect time to upgrade your payment habits. Say goodbye to cash and hello to seamless transactions!
