The Muthoot Finance Limited on Thursday announced its collaboration with fintech NIRA as part of its strategy to strengthen its digital footprint.
Through this partnership, salaried customers can avail personal loan of up to Rs 1 lakh from Muthoot by downloading the NIRA app from Google's Play store.

Muthoot Finance is also aggressively moving towards an end-to-end digital process, and this tie-up is one of the initiatives in the same direction."
