# CheQ UPI offers up to 2.5% rewards on RuPay credit card payments 2026-08-25T21:35:46+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet CheQ has launched CheQ UPI, a platform that combines UPI payments with RuPay credit card transactions, offering rewards of up to 2.5% on eligible spends. The company aims to let users earn rewards on everyday payments without switching away from their existing credit card habits. The actual reward rate depends on transaction value and programme terms. CheQ, known for credit card management, is expanding into daily digital payments. Users should check terms on eligible transactions, reward limits and redemption before relying on the headline rate. ## Indian Opinion Analysis RuPay credit cards have been linked to UPI since 2022 under the NPCI framework, but most platforms offer only basic cashback or no rewards at all. CheQ is betting that a visible 2.5% reward rate will pull users away from default UPI apps that earn nothing on credit spends. The real constraint is merchant acceptance: RuPay credit on UPI works only at shops where the merchant QR code is enabled for credit card payments, which is still a minority of UPI touchpoints. The success of CheQ UPI will be measured by how many users actually see that 2.5% in their statements, not just in the marketing. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in Straight product launch story with no slant, quotes or editorial framing.
