Moneymela takes several measures to conduct comprehensive background checks on borrowers, ensuring their legal status and mitigating risks. These measures include:

  • Willful Defaulter Check: Moneymela verifies whether the borrower is listed as a willful defaulter in the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) database.
  • Compliance with RBI Norms: Moneymela assesses the borrower's compliance with RBI norms regarding any previous defaults.
  • Legal Proceedings Check: Moneymela checks for any pending legal proceedings or suits against the borrower.
  • Physical Verification: Moneymela may conduct physical verification of the borrower as part of its due diligence process to ensure the authenticity of the borrower's identity and address.

Moneymela has partnered with credit bureaus such as Equifax and Highmark to access the borrower's credit history, which includes information about their past repayment behavior and creditworthiness.

Based on the analysis and verification of the borrower's documents and background checks, Moneymela assigns a final rating. This rating determines the applicable interest rate for the loan. A higher rating indicates a lower risk profile, leading to a lower interest rate, while a lower rating suggests a higher risk profile, potentially resulting in a higher interest rate. By offering personalized and competitive interest rates based on the borrower's rating, Moneymela aims to provide tailored loan terms that align with the individual's creditworthiness.

Once the borrower's eligibility is successfully verified and assessed, they will receive a loan sanction letter via their registered email ID. Before loan disbursal, the borrower needs to fulfill pre-disbursement compliances, such as signing the loan agreement and submitting an end-use certificate declaration. These steps ensure adherence to necessary procedures and documentation before the loan amount is disbursed.

Moneymela's comprehensive background checks, credit history analysis, and verification processes aim to ensure the integrity of the lending platform and provide suitable loan offers to borrowers based on their creditworthiness.
