Scapia, India’s fast-growing travel-first fintech platform, in collaboration with Federal Bank, on Thursday launched a game-changing credit card, which blends RuPay + Visa networks, combines UPI payments with credit, and offers strong travel perks — all packed into a single card.
 
What makes this credit card different?
This is not your regular card. It’s a dual-network credit card that works across:
 
Visa: For domestic and international online/offline purchases
 
RuPay: To enable UPI credit payments, a first-of-its-kind move
 
One statement: You get a single bill for all your transactions — no confusion, no clutter
