After Flipkart, home-grown payments gateway RuPay has tied up with
Amazon and one of the largest carriers Jet Airways. With this, the RuPay
debit card holders can now shop best deals on Amazon and book air
tickets on Jet Airways, the Reserve Bank-promoted National Payment
Corporation which issues the RuPay cards said in a statement today.
"Acceptance on Amazon is a breakthrough for us. We are glad to offer a wider horizon to our cardholders to transact online. Also, our integration with Jet Airways will definitely benefit our cardholders,," says NPCI managing director AP Hota said. Commenting on the tie-up, Amazon India general manager for payments Srinivas Rao said, the arrangement is in line with its strategy of offering the widest set of customers a variety of payment options that will enhance their shopping experience.
The NPCI had last week announced that it has tied up with Flipkart, Snapdeal and LIC who are among over 15,000 merchants who will be accepting the RuPay cards, which are the homegrown alternative to foreign gateways like Visa and MasterCard. Following the tie-up Jet Airways has begun accepting RuPay cards on their site for air-ticketing, airlines' senior vice-president Gaurang Shetty said.
