The company did not share any details on whether it will offer rewards for using the new feature.
On its website, Amazon noted: “Credit card bill payment transaction can be made for a minimum amount of INR100 and a maximum amount of INR100,000.
“There would be additional limits applicable to UPI, net-banking that you would use to pay the credit card bill.
“If the payment method is UPI, the per transaction and cumulative daily limit could vary from INR10,000-100,000 depending on your bank.”
Amazon joins the likes of Indian payment platforms Paytm, PhonePe, and others, to offer in-app credit card bill payment options.
Moreover, Amazon India competes directly with fintech startup CRED, which solely offers credit card payment solutions to its members.
A spokesperson for Amazon said: “As part of our commitment to our customers, we are constantly innovating and creating new experiences to make digital payments seamless across a variety of use cases.
“This has led us to launch the credit card bill payment facility with which customers can complete a cumbersome process in a single click, using a variety of payment options.”
Amazon also partners ICICI Bank to offer co-branded credit cards to both Prime and non-Prime customers, with 1-5% cashback rewards.
