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
 
Think of it like this: You can swipe at a cafe in Paris, scan UPI at a kirana store in Pune, book a flight to Bangkok, and all of it gets tracked in one single credit statement.
 
 
"Designed to replace the clutter of multiple cards, wallets, and apps, the Scapia Federal Credit Card delivers a smarter, unified way to spend — whether for everyday essentials or vacations.
