The card enables users to pay at millions of offline merchants or in apps and earn and redeem reward points instantly
Axis Bank and Google Pay today launched the ‘Google Pay Flex Axis Bank Credit Card’, a UPI-powered co-branded credit card built on the RuPay network.
“The Google Pay Flex Axis Bank Credit Card is the first launch as part of Flex by Google Pay, Google’s latest offering aimed at making credit simpler and more accessible for everyone, marking its foray into the co-branded credit card space,” Axis Bank said in a release.
The card enables users to pay at millions of offline merchants or in apps and earn and redeem reward points instantly. Additionally, the card offers repayment options via the Google Pay app, allowing users to convert credit card bills into EMIs. Google Pay plans to expand Flex to more issuer partners soon.
Sharath Bulusu, Senior Director—Product Management, Google Pay, said, “While digital payments have become ubiquitous in India, transactional credit remains underpenetrated. We built Flex to bridge this gap, simplifying and reimagining the card experience for the next generation of users. We’re thrilled to launch this first with Axis Bank and look forward to announcing more issuer partners very soon.”
