Follow the easy steps given below to apply for a loan from a lender mentioned in the RBI approved loan apps list:

• Download and install a loan app on your smartphone.
• Register with your name, mobile number and email address.

• Fill in a few basic details to complete your profile.
• Based on the information provided by you, the loan request will be approved by the lender.
• You will have to add your banking details to get the funds disbursed to your bank account on approval.

You can verify the app’s or its NBFC partner’s registration on the RBI’s official website under the RBI registered loan app list.

Check the app's website to know its partner NBFC name, then check the RBI's official website and search for that NBFC in the registration database. Also, ensure the app provides a Key Fact Statement (KFS) prior to the loan acceptance. 

• Check the partner NBFC of the app. Legitimate apps usually disclose their lending partner on their official website and app.
• The RBI has operationalised a Digital Lending Apps directory on its website. You can search the app name there for verification.
• Review the Key Fact Statement and ensure the interest rate, processing fee, and Annual Percentage Rate are clearly mentioned before you sign.
• Money must be transferred from the NBFC/ Bank account to your bank account directly, and not through a third-party wallet.
• Check permissions as RBI guidelines restrict apps from accessing users’ contacts, gallery, or call logs.
