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."
