A recent survey reveals a fascinating shift in Indian consumer behaviour. Credit cards are becoming more integral to daily finances, with 60% of respondents prioritising rewards programmes. Nearly 49% reported regular use of both credit cards and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for digital payments. These trends highlight the evolving preferences of Indian consumers when it comes to credit cards.

To cater to these changing preferences, IDFC FIRST Bank offers a suite of credit card features. These will empower you to not only manage your finances better but also unlock benefits and rewards.

Let’s explore what these credit card features are.

Unlock the power of IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards
 

IDFC FIRST Bank goes beyond the standard credit card offerings, differentiating itself with unique credit card features that empower users to manage their finances effectively. Here are some key benefits of using credit cards:

  • Lower interest rates

  • Credit cards often get a bad rap for high-interest charges. IDFC FIRST Bank breaks the mould with dynamic interest rates starting at a mere 9% per annum, significantly lower than the industry average. This translates to significant cost savings on your purchases.

    IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards offer dynamic interest rates based on the customer’s credit behaviour. This means if you pay your bills on time, you’ll benefit from a lower interest rate.

  • Never-expiring reward points

  • Unlike traditional cards, where points expire after a few months, IDFC FIRST Bank rewards you with credit card reward points that never expire. Accumulate them, redeem them for exciting products and experiences—the choice is yours!

  • Reward points as good as cash

  • IDFC FIRST Bank reward points are as good as cash. You can redeem points with a single click on any online transaction and some offline transactions, too!  

  • All-round rewards

  • Perhaps the best credit card feature is its comprehensive rewards. You not only get rewarded for spending on specific categories but also across fuel, dining, shopping, insurance coverage, and travel. For instance, the FIRST Power+ Credit Card is a fuel credit card that offers accelerated rewards on fuel. Yet, you will also get a high savings rate of 5% on groceries, utilities, and FASTag recharges.

  • UPI-enabled transactions

  • IDFC FIRST Bank provides customers the choice to opt for a RuPay add-on in the form of the FIRST Digital RuPay Credit Card. This allows you to make secure and instant payments directly from your credit card with UPI apps. Moreover, you get up to 3X reward points on all UPI spends.

  • Up to 10X reward points

  • Don’t just spend, thrive! IDFC FIRST Bank rewards you with incremental reward points for exceeding specific spending limits, making every purchase even more rewarding. For instance, the FIRST Select Credit Card rewards you with 3X reward points on spends up to ₹20,000 in one statement cycle. Even better, earn 10X reward points if you cross ₹20,000 in spends as well as on your birthday!

  • Railway and airport lounge access

  • Do you travel frequently? You can swipe IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards for complimentary access to railway and airport lounges with all essential amenities. Away from the crowd, you can catch up on some emails and work or rest before your journey.

  • Easy EMI conversions

  • All IDFC FIRST Bank credit cards come with the option to convert purchases over ₹2,500 into EMIs. Convert big-ticket expenses into bite-sized EMIs and pay off expenses without straining your finances.
