Google has announced that it will start offering sachet loans on its Google Pay app in India. Sachet loans are small-ticket loans that are typically repaid within a few weeks or months. They are designed to help people meet unexpected expenses, such as medical emergencies or school fees.
Google has partnered with DMI Finance to provide sachet loans on Google Pay. DMI Finance is a non-banking financial company (NBFC) that specializes in providing small loans to individuals and businesses.
To avail a sachet loan on Google Pay, users will need to have a Google Pay account and a bank account. They will also need to provide some basic information, such as their name, address, and income. Once they are approved for a loan, the amount will be credited to their Google Pay account.
Users can repay their sachet loans through Google Pay using their bank account or UPI balance. They can also choose to repay their loans in installments.
The interest rates on sachet loans will vary depending on the lender and the loan amount. However, Google has said that the interest rates will be “competitive”.
Google believes that sachet loans will help people in India meet their unexpected financial needs. The company also believes that sachet loans will help to promote financial inclusion in India.
