The app aims to make timely payments of credit card bills more rewarding by tying-up with several top-brands like Diesel, Cure.Fit, Myntra, Olive Bar & Kitchen, Urban Ladder, Airbnb, BookMyShow among several others. When a member makes a credit card payment through the app, they get access to a variety of rewards of such as access to events, experiences, gift cards and upgrades from the aforementioned brands.  

CRED is the second business initiative by Shah, he had earlier founded Freecharge.
