Hi Rajat, thanks for your comment! We are rolling out auto-debit feature to pull money from the borrower's bank account so that you don't have to track it. We also have processes to followup with borrowers automatically before due dates to remind him to pay the installment.

You're absolutely right about the businesses. We are not giving loans to them at the moment, however we plan to expand to that segment soon.

We totally understand your apprehension, this is a new concept in India. We have some risk mitigation strategies in place and rolling out many more soon (which I may add, typical banks do not use). Please reach us at [email protected] in case you would like to try this as an investment opportunity.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, we will pool money from a lender and disburse it to multiple borrowers to reduce exposure per borrower.

Thanks for the comment!
1. Yes, we do the legal documentation so it is not a headache for you. Legal costs associated with non-payment are covered as part of this contract. 2. We have features like post dated checks and auto-debits from bank account to ensure borrowers pay on time, among other things. 3. We are not planning to become a bank, reason why banks have such a large spread is because they have huge operational expenses. We will always aim to be as lean as possible by automating processes.

Thanks for the comment! The loan interests vary as per type, for example home loans are very long tenor, lower rate and collateralized. For personal loans the rates are typically on the higher side. We offer loans starting from 12%
