2.What Tapwise is (and is not)

Tapwise is a personal finance utility tool that helps you:

  • Understand which credit cards maximize rewards on your spending
  • See estimated annual reward value in ₹ for cards you hold or are considering
  • Parse your own bank transaction emails to personalize recommendations

Tapwise is NOT:

  • A bank, NBFC, or financial institution
  • A credit card issuer or aggregator
  • A SEBI or RBI registered investment or financial advisor
  • A credit bureau or credit score provider
Nothing on Tapwise constitutes financial advice. All recommendations are informational estimates based on publicly available card reward rates. Always verify current terms on your bank's official website or app before making any financial decision.

5.Gmail access, your responsibilities

When you grant Gmail read access:

  • Tapwise is not liable for any inaccuracy in parsed transaction data resulting from non-standard email formats used by banks

6.Reward rate accuracy

  • Reward rates displayed on Tapwise are sourced from publicly available issuer websites and updated regularly
  • Where sources conflict, we use the lower, conservative value
  • Actual rewards earned depend on your specific card variant, bank policies, merchant category codes (MCCs), and any caps or exclusions set by your bank
  • Tapwise makes no guarantee that the reward value shown will match what your bank credits
  • Always confirm current reward terms in your bank's official app or website before you swipe
