• There is total transparency with regard to the rate of interest and the fees charged by us.
• We offer personal loans at the competitive rates of interest, with no security or collateral
• We provide finance for any personal need or requirement; amount being determined on the basis of repaying capacity and not for any speculative purpose.
• We levy interest based on daily reducing balance, unlike the annual reducing balance method used by several other banks.

• On an annual reducing balance method, you will continue to pay interest on amounts you repay during the coming one year as the interest for the year is determined on the basis of the balance outstanding at the beginning of the year.
• In the case of the daily reducing balance, which is the methodology we employ, your interest is calculated only on the outstanding loan amount, which reduces every time you pay off your EMIs or make any prepayments. This in essence lowers your effective rate of interest significantly.
