How often do you use UPI without a second thought?
Maybe it’s a quick QR scan at the grocery counter, paying bills online, sending money home in seconds, or splitting a dinner tab with friends. For most of us, it’s a reflex now. Fast, simple, and always just a tap away.
 

Have you ever stopped for lunch on the highway only to hear, “Sorry, no cards”? Carrying wads of cash isn’t safe, and ATMs aren’t always nearby.

UPI stands for Unified Payments Interface, a digital payments system supported by banks across India. Introducing UPI features like UPI ATM and Tap-to-Pay enhances digital payments, and these features are supported by major banks and robust financial infrastructure.

You’ve probably seen ads promising free credit score checks. But is it really free? Or will you end up signing up for a trial you didn’t need?
Your credit score affects how easy the process will be for you to get a personal loan to fund a family emergency.
 

Today, almost every Indian relies on mobile wallets for everything. They’re instant, contactless, and widely recognised. In fact, UPI alone is accepted by over 65 million merchants in India. 

A teacher from Haryana applied for a personal loan in July 2025 for her son's wedding. He was enticed by a quick loan of ₹10 lakhs, which was offered despite a low credit score and the lack of verification documents.

Have you ever planned a home makeover just before Diwali? Or maybe consider buying a cool gadget during an Independence Day sale?
Festive seasons in India are big events. They carry a lot of meaning, emotion, and big expenses. And when that happens, borrowing rises too.
