Google launched its first-ever global credit card in India, marking a significant milestone in the country’s digital payments landscape. Issued in partnership with Axis Bank and operating on the RuPay network, the card is integrated with Google Pay and can be directly linked to UPI for merchant payments. This enables users to make seamless credit-based UPI transactions, a feature not supported by Visa or Mastercard cards. The card also introduces an instant rewards system, allowing users to redeem benefits immediately after each transaction, highlighting India’s growing leadership in fintech innovation and digital payment solutions.
