From July 13, Uber will once again allow customers to pay using credit cards in India. In an announcement, Uber confirmed that it will start accepting International and Indian Credit Cards along with PayTm for making ride payments.

Uber offers users with Credit Card payment across the world, but had stopped the same in India after RBI’s stringent 2 Factor Authentication was brought in. Uber now says they have 2 Factor Authentication flow built into the app.
