RuPay is an Indian domestic card scheme conceived and launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It was created to fulfill the Reserve Bank of India's desire to have a domestic, open loop, and multilateral system of payments in India.
Benefits Of Ru Pay Cards
The Indian market offers huge potential for cards penetration despite the challenges. RuPay Cards will address the needs of Indian consumers, merchants and banks. The benefits of RuPay debit card are the flexibility of the product platform, high levels of acceptance and the strength of the RuPay brand-all of which will contribute to an increased product experience.
- Lower cost and affordability :
Since the transaction processing will happen domestically, it would lead to lower cost of clearing and settlement for each transaction. This will make the transaction cost affordable and will drive usage of cards in the industry. - Customized product offering :
RuPay, being a domestic scheme is committed towards development of customized product and service offerings for Indian consumers. - Protection of information related to Indian consumers :
Transaction and customer data related to RuPay card transactions will reside in India. - Provide electronic product options to untapped/unexplored consumer segment :
There are under-penetrated/untapped consumers segments in rural areas that do not have access to banking and financial services. Right pricing of RuPay products would make the RuPay cards more economically feasible for banks to offer to their customers. In addition, relevant product variants would ensure that banks can target the hitherto untapped consumer segments. - Inter-operability between payment channels and products :
RuPay card is uniquely positioned to offer complete inter-operability between various payments channels and products. NPCI currently offers varied solutions across platforms including ATMs, mobile technology, cheques etc and is extremely well placed in nurturing RuPay cards across these platforms.
Government asks PSU banks to issue RuPay debit cards to customers, install POS
terminals-Economic Times
For the first time in their 30-year existence, Visa and MasterCard, the world's largest payment companies, are facing the heat in India. Lending its weight behind the local card scheme, RuPay, the government has asked state-owned banks to issue RuPay debit cards to customers.
In a communique to banks last week, Gurdial Singh Sandhu, secretary at the finance ministry's department of financial services, "urged" CEOs of public sector banks to issue RuPay cards to all existing customers who do not have debit cards as well as to new clients. Banks have also been told to "encourage" merchant establishments to install point of sale terminals for RuPay cards, two banking sources told ET.
While banks have not been instructed to refrain from issuing cards where transactions are processed by Visa or MasterCard, there is a clear direction to promote RuPay. Customers are typically issued a single debit card per account and banks will have to pursue the
unconventional practice and possibly tweak systems to issue two debit cards to a client who insists on a Visa or MasterCard that currently have greater acceptance than RuPay.
RuPay was launched by National Payments Corp of India (NPCI), set up to function as a cost-effective payment services entity. Responding to ET's query on whether PSU banks could lose rich and more brand-conscious customers to private banks (which have not received a similar direction from the finance ministry), AP Hota, MD & CEO of NPCI, said, "Such fears are unfounded. RuPay
is a fully functional card payment system. We are also launching Platinum cards
for HNI customers."
