This innovative credit card allows users to perform both RuPay and Visa transactions across online, offline, UPI, and international avenues, all while managing their expenses under a unified credit limit and a consolidated monthly statement.
Scapia pointed out that this card is among the first in India to directly integrate UPI functionality through the RuPay network while maintaining the global reach of Visa.

It’s designed for the modern digital Indian who seeks speed, simplicity, and rewards with every transaction.”
