Digital lending is one of the fastest-growing fintech segments in India and grew exponentially from nine billion U.S. dollars in 2012 to nearly 150 billion dollars in 2020. It was expected that the digital lending market would reach a value of around 350 billion dollars by 2023. This business was mainly covered by fintech startups and non-banking financial companies (NBFC).
Digital lending companies in India
Digital lending companies provide comparatively small loans to their customers through apps or online platforms. In comparison to bank loans, digital lending does not require a specific bank account, requirements are lower, and the process is significantly quicker. Digital lending start-ups are increasingly becoming popular among customers and aim to meet the credit gap.
Funding the MSME sector
Besides providing loans for individuals, lending companies also served micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME). An already high credit demand in this sector was fueled by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Many enterprises were not eligible for banking loans and had to look for alternative funding.
