CRED
CRED is an Indian fintech company, founded by Kunal Shah in 2018 and is headquartered in Bangalore, India. The company aims to provide a convenient and rewarding experience for credit card users by helping them manage their credit card payments, track spending, and earn rewards for responsible credit behaviour.
It offers features, like paying all their credit card bills in one place and earning "CRED Coins" as rewards every time bills are paid. Cred Coins can be redeemed as offers and discounts to buy stuff from Cred’s online store. It also provides users with an option to play games, take quizzes, and join contests.
In 2019, it launched its own app and gained initial attention for its innovative approach to credit card management and rewards. In the same year, it started building its user base, which continued in 2020 when new features were introduced, such as CRED Pay. By 2021, the user base expanded significantly and positioned Cred as one of the prominent fintech startups in India.
In 2023, CRED introduced a new way for its users to make payments using UPI. With this feature, CRED members can now pay anyone from their contact list, using phone numbers or UPI IDs.
