How to make credit card payment through IMPS

Introduced by the National Payment Corporation of India (NCPI) in 2010, IMPS or Immediate Payment Service is one of the fastest methods by which you can make your credit card payment. In fact, IMPS allows you to transfer funds in real-time, from your mobile phone or laptop any time of the day or year. There are two main ways by which you can pay your credit card bill via IMPS. One is through a Mobile Money Identifier (MMID) and the other by an IFSC code. Follow these steps to make your credit card payment through IMPS.
