Double Gold

Current Gold loan model:

Gold loan is the fastest growing major loan segment in India and also one of the leastregulated segment in the lending space in India.

For Customers, the Gold loan means faster access to capital,/ liquidity with least amount of KYC and even remotely. Considering the access to Capital situation in India, this is a far better and quicker alternative than most of the informal money lenders and Pawn brokers across the country.

Considering that the payers are registered NBFC’s and Banks, the customers find this far more secure and safe for their family heirloom, since Gold has for most has been an asset and not necessarily an instrument of investment.
For Lenders, the Gold loan has been an excellent scheme that not only gives access to great returns but in the most secured way as possible. There has been unprecedented growth for NBFC’s into Gold loan and they all are expanding in a fast pace. While, Banks are making the most of it and are clearly enjoying the fastest growth across all lending products.

The sheer opportunity of delivering this product outside the Core Banking has been the best thing to have happened for Banks in the recent times. In most Businesses, a larger category players enter a space previously dominated by the smaller categoryplayers, depicts the end of the play for smaller players. In Gold loan space, while Banksgot in and find significant growth has not meant the end of road for NBFC’s, rather theycontinue to grow on the same pace.

Compliance:
