Want to apply for the UNI 1/3 Credit Card? You are at the right place. In today’s post, we will look at the UNI 1/3 Credit Card features and how you can apply for the same.

The Indian credit card industry seems to be stuck. Reports unfold that the Indian credit card industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 25% in 2020-2025 due to an increase in the popularity of credit cards for purchasing all kinds of products. This trend of buy now pay later has touched heights.

Currently, in the Indian market, there are between 30-55 million people that have at least one credit card, with a total circulation being 58 million. Now, if we compare this to 1 billion debit cards in circulation, it’s understandable that many sections of society are not issued credit cards.

One major reason why a majority of the population is ruled out from the credit card facility is that they don’t have a credit score. Not as many people have a credit score and, those who have a less credit score, it’s probably because Indian banks still rely on traditional methodologies to define someone’s creditworthiness. For instance, many banks issue credit cards only to those people who are engaged in full-time employment with a list of reputed companies that have a place in the spreadsheets banks have to maintain.

Are you also one of those people who can’t avail of the credit facility provided by banks? If yes, then take no stress because of a revolutionary change brought in by Nitin Gupta in the Indian credit card system with the UNI Cards.

In today’s post, we will look at the Uni 1/3 Credit card and its features, eligibility criteria, and how you can apply for this card. Here’s an overview:

I tried adding the Uni card on the Cred app and it got added successfully. I also paid Rs 100 via the Cred app to claim cashback of the first transaction and received ₹500 (refer cashback) + ₹45 (first payment cashback) in the cred app which supposed to be used to pay the Uni Card bill. All the amount (₹100 + ₹500 + ₹45) got processed from the Cred app but the Uni card billed amount doesn’t get paid.
