The RBL Bank BMRCL co-branded RuPay On-The-Go cards can be swiftly and easily availed from Ticket Office Machine (TOM) counters present at 83 BMRCL stations across three lines, including the Yellow Line connecting RV Road to Bommasandra. The integration serves lakhs of daily commuters by eliminating the need to purchase separate tickets or carry multiple cards, providing a seamless experience to officegoers, students, and travellers alike.
Ravi Pichan, Chief Information Officer & Head - Digital Banking at RBL Bank, said, “At RBL Bank, we are committed to delivering innovative and convenient digital payment solutions that make everyday transactions easier. Our partnership with NPCI and BMRCL to enable RuPay On-The-Go on Bengaluru Metro’s Yellow Line reflects our focus on enhancing customer experience while supporting the expansion of smart mobility solutions across India. This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision towards providing new-age frictionless digital solutions that transform the travel experience of daily commuters.”
Commuters can top-up their RuPay On-The-Go cards via Cash, UPI, or any Debit, Credit or Prepaid card accepted at the TOM counters. Additionally, the card features a QR on the back, which can be scanned using BHIM, Google Pay, PhonePe or any other UPI applications to top-up the card seamlessly. Customers can also login into RBL Bank provided app for managing and loading their RuPay On-The-Go cards.
RuPay On-The-Go supports offline functionality as well, allowing for transactions even in low connectivity zones. It also facilitates stored value travel, enabling passengers to load balances and use the same card for recurring journeys.
Sohini Rajola, Executive Director – Growth, NPCI said, “With the integration of the RuPay On-The-Go card across Metro lines, Bengaluru is taking a significant step towards a smarter, more efficient urban mobility ecosystem. We are happy to partner with BMRCL and RBL Bank in expanding the RuPay On-The-Go ecosystem in Bengaluru to enable commuters to experience a truly digital, contactless, and seamless mode of transit.”
For RBL Bank, enabling this widespread adoption reflects its commitment to building frictionless, digital-first experiences that make daily mobility smarter, simpler, and more inclusive across India.
