IDFC Bank FIRST SWYP Credit Card

About IDFC Bank FIRST SWYP Credit Card

The IDFC FIRST SWYP Credit Card is a basic credit card that helps you save money on shopping, travel, food, and more. You get discounts on popular brands and earn rewards based on how much you spend each month. You can also choose to get a digital RuPay card by paying a small yearly fee, which gives you rewards on your UPI payments too.

What makes this card different is its flexible payment option. At the end of each billing cycle, you can either pay the full amount or turn your bill into easy EMIs. Unlike regular credit cards, you don’t have to worry about high interest charges. If you can’t pay the full bill, you can convert your spends into EMIs starting from just 3 months, for amounts above ₹2,500.

The FIRST SWYP Credit Card by IDFC Bank is a fresh take on credit cards in India, designed especially for young users. It offers rewards and discounts on brands like Tata CLiQ, Zomato, and Dominos, and comes with a low joining fee of ₹499. You can also easily link it to your UPI apps for added convenience.
