Paisabazaar.com, India’s largest* digital marketplace for consumer credit, announced the launch of ‘Paisa on Demand’ (PoD) – An one-of-a-kind credit card, co-created with RBL Bank. PoD is Paisabazaar.com’s third co-created product under its neo-lending strategy, which has been built to drive innovative lending solutions and ease access to credit for large under-served segments, across geographies, income levels and credit profiles.
Last year in September, Paisabazaar launched a credit card, designed for New to Credit or Sub-Prime Consumer segments. The card called, ‘Step UP’ Credit Card, provides benefits of a credit card, helps consumers build their credit score and earns high returns on fixed deposits. Under its neo-lending vertical, Paisabazaar has also co-created a credit line for Prime and Super Prime segments, through a completely paperless and presence-less process.
The fintech, with RBL Bank, has now co-created PoD which is exclusively available on the Paisabazaar platform. PoD provides a lifetime free credit card from RBL Bank with a completely digital onboarding process. Along with features of a Credit Card, the RBL Bank PoD product, provides customers an option to take a personal loan from RBL Bank using the same credit limit at normal personal loan rates.
Naveen Kukreja, CEO & Co-founder, Paisabazaar.com, said, “The lending industry today is at the crossroads, where credit inclusiveness and digitization would define the next phase of growth. As a marketplace leader, we understand the supply and demand dynamics along with the needs of various consumer segments. Our neo-lending strategy is being enabled by key partners like RBL Bank, and together, we aim to build innovative products that add genuine value to consumers.”
Harjeet Toor, Head – Retail, Inclusion and Rural Business, RBL Bank, said, “At RBL Bank, empowering the customers is one of our key priorities. We are focussed on building simpler and innovative products that meet the evolving financial needs of the new-age customers. Through our partnership with Paisabazaar.com, we aim to build products that offer integrated services for the large under-served segments across the country.”
Currently, the Paisabazaar platform receives ~1.5 million enquiries from varied consumer segments from over 1000 cities and towns in a month.
