Digital Loan Apps Still Growing: Here’s How to Identify a Legit One

Vizzve Admin

India’s digital lending space is booming. With just a few taps, you can get a personal loan, pay bills, or even invest. But while trusted apps like Vizzve offer convenience, the internet is also full of fake loan apps designed to scam you.

Let’s break down how to identify a genuine loan app and protect your money — the Vizzve Finance way.

🚀 Why Are Digital Loan Apps Growing?

Increased mobile penetration

Quick approvals and zero paperwork

Access for underserved users (no credit history)

Instant cash for emergencies

But growth attracts fraudsters. RBI has flagged hundreds of unregistered or illegal apps that exploit users with:

Hidden charges

Loan-sharking interest rates

Aggressive recovery tactics

Data misuse

✅ How to Spot a Legit Loan App: The Vizzve Checklist

1. RBI-Registered NBFC or Bank

Ensure the app is linked to a licensed NBFC or bank. Vizzve, for example, partners with RBI-regulated lenders.

🔎 Tip: Check the list at rbi.org.in

2. Transparent Terms & EMI Structure

A good app discloses:

Interest rate (APR)

Loan tenure

Processing fee

Total repayment amount

🛑 Red Flag: Apps that only show the disbursed amount, not the cost of borrowing.

3. No Upfront Payment or Advance Fee

Legit apps never ask you to pay in advance for verification, approval, or "processing." Vizzve charges ₹0 upfront.

4. Data Privacy & Permissions

Trustworthy apps:

Only access necessary permissions (camera, storage)

Offer clear privacy policies

Never upload your contacts, photos, or gallery to servers without consent

5. Google Play Store Ratings & Reviews

Avoid apps not listed on Play Store or iOS App Store. Look for:

4.0+ stars

Real, verified user reviews

Developer contact details

6. Customer Support & Website

Check for:

24x7 helpline or email support

Registered office address

Professional-looking website with terms & FAQs

❓FAQs

Q1. How do I check if a loan app is RBI-approved?
Visit the RBI NBFC List and search the lender’s name.

Q2. What happens if I take a loan from a fake app?
You may face data blackmail, harassment, or illegal recovery. Report immediately to cybercrime.

Q3. Can I get a loan without a CIBIL score?
Yes. Platforms like Vizzve offer low-ticket loans for new-to-credit users, responsibly.

Q4. Do legit apps ask for UPI login or card PIN?
No. Never share UPI PINs, ATM PINs, or passwords. Legit apps use secure payment gateways only.
