In a bid to expand its loan distribution offering, PhonePe introduced secured lending products on its platform in collaboration with a network of trusted banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), as well as other fintech companies. The Walmart-owned firm intends to develop a simplified and improved user experience in the secured loans category through this.
In addition, PhonePe’s move allows customers to access lending services across six categories directly within its app, including Mutual Fund Loan, Gold Loan, Bike Loan, Car Loan, Home Loan or Loan against Property, and Education Loan.

At the time of the announcement, the platform hosts 15 active partners, aiming to scale to 25 by Q3 2024.
