RuPay e-Commerce has roped in big online merchants such as IRCTC, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), Flipkart and Snapdeal to facilitate online payments.
RuPay cards’ acceptance has grown to over 15,000 online merchants with having a customer base of 30 million RuPay cards that are acceptable at all ATMs and 9.8 lakh PoS (point of sale) and over 15000 online merchants in the country, said RuPay in a statement.
With this arrangement, RuPay card holders can book train tickets on irctc.co.in, make online payments for LIC premium, shop on Flipkart.com, Snapdeal.com, Homeshop18.com and book movie tickets on Bookmyshow.com. Also, the country’s largest bank- State Bank of India (SBI) has started accepting RuPay cards on its payment gateway. RuPay e-Commerce service was launched in June 2013 with an additional anti-phishing feature for security checks, the statement
“Team-SBI is quite upbeat about the development. State Bank Payment Gateway (PG) facilitates every month, around 1.3 crore Card-Not-Present (CNP) transactions. Addition of RuPay platform will give a further boost to e-commerce transactions. Flipkart is one of our active merchants. Acceptance of RuPay Card for online transactions by Flipkart will add to the transaction flow from their site to our NetBanking and PG”, said B Sriram, Managing Director at SBI.
Sachin Bansal, Co-founder and CEO, Flipkart, said “Payments is a core area of focus for Flipkart. We are constantly looking for ways to expand and improve the payments experience on our site and this initiative with RuPay is an important step in that direction. We look forward to working with SBI and NPCI on more such initiatives that will contribute towards enhancing the payments ecosystem for our customers”.
RuPay scheme aims at addressing the needs of Indian consumer, merchants and banks with benefits attached to it including - lower cost, customized product offering, protection of information related to Indian consumers, electronic product options as relevant to untapped/unexplored consumer segments and Inter-operability between payment channels and products.
A P Hota, MD and CEO, NPCI said, “Acceptance on large merchants like IRCTC, LIC, Flipkart, Homeshop18, Snapdeal and BookMyShow among others marks an important milestone for RuPay ecommerce. Today, 30 million RuPay cards have already been issued in the country. RuPay cards today are enabled at all ATMs across the country, 9.8 Lakhs POS terminals and over 15000 online merchants. It is our vision to touch every Indian with at least one payment mode of NPCI by 2020”
