This ensured that the risk is highly diversified across a pool of prime Borrowers.
All borrowers approved by LiquiLoans are curated through various data points and undergo stringent verification. Monies lent at all points are routed directly through the Escrow (3rd Party) bank account and the same is managed by an Independent Trustee; who then disburses the monies to multiple borrowers (post receipt of Borrowers Loan Agreement & NACH from Liquiloans). There is a risk that a borrower may default. In case where a borrower defaults, their on-going service / treatment or programme may be stopped. The borrower agreement is a legally binding document. A collections process is evoked to recover funds which will impact the borrowers high credit rating (CIBIL). In case any borrower ends up defaulting even after the recovery process is initiated, LiquiLoans earns no income till the lender makes his indicated return. Thus, an investor is safeguarded to a large extent and risk is minimized. Please read and understand Terms and Conditions before investing.

  1. As with any lending, there are some risks, the biggest being that a borrower doesn’t repay. At LiquiLoans we try to keep this risk to a minimum by ensuring that every borrower registered with us is identity-checked, credit-checked and risk-assessed by our experienced team. The loan is disbursed only after the borrower signs the legally-bound loan agreement. In case of default we use legally-compliant collections agencies to follow-up and collect missed payments on the lender’s behalf. Though we do our best to manage the risk at every step, defaults may happen. We therefore ensure that investment of each lender is diversified across a number of borrowers to reduce risk.

Escrow account ensures secure, fast and smooth transfer of funds with every transaction on the platform. Faster transactions lead to faster disbursal and faster investment.

Also, escrow enables the lender to have a ringed fence transaction i.e. no monies are lent to LiquiLoans Balance Sheet.
Most of the Borrowers who are approved by LiquiLoans are employed, getting an avg. salary of 25k+ per month, aged between 20-55 and with a Avg. Bureau score of 700.

  1. At LiquiLoans, the initial amount required to be transferred to the Escrow account for lending is INR. 1 lakh.
  2. Peer to Peer lending, like other asset classes, works best with portfolio diversification. With an initial investment of INR. 1 lakh, you can build a lending portfolio across 100+ loans which ensures investment risks are largely minimized - enabling you to enjoy high yields consistently. Smaller investments, result in concentration of portfolio across fewer loans and hence do not provide for sufficient levels of diversification. Hence, initial investments less than INR. 1 lakh are NOT recommended.
  1. Diversification is an important feature in peer-to-peer lending. It gives you the ability to lend small amounts to different loans instead of funding one loan in entirety without the administrative hassle of managing these small loan amounts. By diversifying the amount that you lend to a number of borrowers, your risks are highly mitigated.
  2. At LiquiLoans marketplace, we invest on your behalf, as little as ₹ 500 – 5,000 per loan thus with ₹ 1,00,000 you can have 100 different borrowers in your portfolio with different risk profiles and tenor of repayment.
As per RBI guidelines of Oct 4’ 2017, the following limits are applicable to any person lending on P2P platforms:
  1. You can maximum lend Rs. 10 lakhs per PAN Card across all P2P lending platforms.
  2. You can maximum fund Rs. 50,000 per loan.
Unlike traditional P2P Platform’s where multiple borrower were being showcased, who were ready to take up a loan at differentiated high rates (18-48%); in our model we mostly provide a subvented Consumer Loan to Credit Worthy Borrowers; hence there isn’t any Alpha to select the borrowers on our platform. Also, we granularly diversify your portfolio across 100-400 borrowers to minimize risks; this would be a highly tedious task for an individual.
Liquiloans doesn’t charge any upfront/exit/transaction fee to the lender. As per the lender’s agreement, Liquiloans enables each investor to earn a reasonably high indicative gross IRR as these loans are subvented through dealer partners; part of which is paid out as per defined hurdle rate first to the investor and then the balance is expensed to liquiloans as fees by the investor
Borrowers are vetted through a proprietary algorithm which checks some or all of the following:
  1. The borrower’s Credit profile (CIBIL Score & Re-payment track record)
  2. Social (Location, Age, Current Job Designation)
  3. Banking History
This information is used to assess the suitability of the borrower
Lenders agreement is a document which is signed by the lender and Liquiloans agreeing to participate on the P2P platform subject to conditions and compliances required by the RBI. A Special Power Of Attorney is taken to reduce the lender’s work and enables Liquiloans to assess borrowers, carry out requisite due diligence, sign the agreements with approved borrowers and disburse monies granularly to multiple borrowers & recover the same on behalf of the lender.
As per RBI regulations, a trustee manages the escrow account at all times. The trustee has access to all necessary data points such as the original borrower’s agreement and NACH that allow them to recover the funds on behalf of Lenders
