Lucknow/New Delhi: If you suddenly need money and are tired of visiting the bank, then there is a great news for you. India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), known for its reliable banking services, is now offering personal loans ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹7 lakh to its customers. The special thing is that this digital bank of the Postal Department has made the loan process so simple that even people from rural areas can easily get financial assistance.
IPPB Loan Facility: How does it work?
India Post Payments Bank is a ‘payments bank’, hence it does not give loans directly from its own funds. Instead, IPPB has partnered with leading banks and financial institutions in the country (e.g. HDFC Bank, PNB MetLife, etc.).
Referral Service: IPPB acts as a bridge. You apply through IPPB, and the loan is provided by its partner banks.
Trust: Since the postal department is involved, customers get complete guarantee of transparency and security.
Key Features of Loan: Amount and Interest
Loan range: Minimum ₹50,000 to maximum ₹7 lakh depending on your eligibility and income.
Flexible tenure: You can get time to repay the loan from 12 months to 60 months.
Interest Rate: Interest rates are decided by the partner bank, which can usually range between 10.50% to 18% per annum (depending on your credit score).
