Most of the non-nationalized banks in India brazenly cheat borrowers and even harass them for lot of unnecessary documents and even after closing out the loan, cause delay in issuing in loan closure letters etc. This kind of peer to peer lending platform is the need of the hour. I want to know if I can refinance my car loan through this platform ?

I don't like banks either - but this is incorrect.

What you call harassment is part of the Process for better due-dilegence. Most of the processes are created by bodies like RBI that are not-private. And they are bureaucratic and slow. But these same processes also prevent something like subprime crisis.

Unfortunately, when these regulating bodies work fast on policy making - people complain (remember daily demonetization policy changes??).

Getting loans from any bank (private or nationalized) definitely feels like harassment, but try to put yourself in their shoes.

Nationalized banks on the other hand - They have government to back them. So they can actually afford to be a bit wrong and govt will rescue them (from taxpayer's money)

Platforms like Creedy are great - but as an investor I would be worried about lending a larger amount

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 [e-mail] in case you would like to try this as an investment opportunity.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, new age lending companies like Credy are doing finance processing electronically and with minimal documentation. Please register as a borrower on the website, we will evaluate your profile.

One question I have is , can we claim tax rebates if we raised a home loan from you folks

I think they are not much worried about why you want a loan, as long as your financials are in good shape they would connect you with a lender. At least it seems like that from the website.

Getting a loan or even a credit card in India as a freelancer is a massive pain in the ass. Most would flat out refuse to even entertain self-employed people.
