Your cab driver only accepts UPI. The street vendor doesn’t take cards. Your favorite local restaurant prefers digital payments. But what happens when it’s the 25th of the month and your account is nearly empty?
Most of us juggle this reality, living in a UPI-first world while dealing with salary cycles that don’t always match our spending needs. Credit cards help, but they’re not accepted everywhere, especially at smaller merchants who rely purely on UPI payments.
That’s where Paytm Postpaid changes everything. It’s not another credit card, it’s credit that works directly through UPI, the payment method that’s already everywhere in India.
