The service portfolio of the company includes short-term as well as long-term loan instruments which can be either be secured or collateral-free, as per the user requirement.

Incepted in November 2015, Rupaiya Exchange has been built with the sole ideology that everyone should have easy access to credit and it endeavors to empower the common man with its all-inclusive approach. The platform also holds the distinction of being the first company to introduce a lender’s protection scheme in India. Borrowers and lenders can register themselves on the platform and submit KYC documents to activate their profiles. At present, more than 4,000 consumers tap the benefits of the best-in-class services offered by Rupaiya Exchange. The innovation-driven platform has facilitated loan originations worth INR 70 crore and disbursements in excess of INR 8 crore since its launch.

The platform has also developed a proprietary risk calculation system, based on more than 30 data points, to determine individual creditworthiness. Additionally, for effective assessment, the platform has tied up with a leading credit service provider in India. All users are subsequently rated and loan applications assessed using the risk calculator, social scoring methodology and fraudulent checks. After validating and rating the loans, the company connects the applicant to its lenders’ community, who can browse through loans open for investment. Based on their specific investment criterion, lenders can filter loans, check the borrower’s profile and make their respective bids. Once the bid is accepted, the loan is disbursed to the borrower along with the repayment schedule. The repayment of the loan takes place in the form of monthly installments.

As per Rohan Hazrati, Founder of Rupaiya Exchange, “With many new businesses emerging across various industries, a lot of high-potential ideas and promising business prospects fail to make a dent in the market due to a lack of access to capital. Moreover, in personal loan segment many creditworthy individuals are denied access to loans due to the traditional scoring approach. With the ground-breaking technology at Rupaiya Exchange, we are making access to capital a lot easier for the common individual. It also provides better investment opportunities to our lenders, thus generating higher return on their investments. As more borrowers and lenders are getting engaged with the platform, Rupaiya Exchange is proving to be pivotal in altering the paradigm of lending in India and making it more feasible for all stakeholders.”
