What is paperless personal loan?

As mentioned earlier, paperless personal loans are the loans which you apply for and get approved online. You can avail them from a bank, loan aggregator or financial institution selling personal loans. A loan aggregator is like a middleman who forwards your application and documents and gets it sanctioned on your behalf.

Note; paperless loans are different from pre-approved loans. Here, you have to fill out a form, create and submit soft copies of all your documents by scanning them or clicking pictures and submit, before the bank sanctions the loan.

Carry out in-depth research, compare between loans offered by different banks, read notifications, clauses, terms and conditions carefully, before finalizing on a particular loan.
