Hyderabad-based startup AnyTimeLoan.in has secured a non-banking financial company (NBFC) peer-to-peer license from Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Incubated at Hyderabad startup incubation centre T-Hub, AnyTimeLoan.in facilitates instant unsecured loans (personal, education and business loans) to eligible borrowers by connecting them with investors or lenders across India through a digital ecosystem.
The lending platform has a minimum net owned fund of Rs 20 million and over the past few four years, it has disbursed over 57,000 loans, aggregating to over Rs 620 million. The company aims to hit a monthly loan disbursal rate of Rs 1 billion in the next 18 months.
