A recent report by TransUnion CIBIL has revealed that the growth of the Indian Fintech Industry is linked to personal loans taken for consumption purposes.
The share of personal loans in originations through Fintech lenders during FY 2022-23 was 64.5 per cent.
The volume of personal loan originations through Fintech lenders has increased 15 times in the past 5 years, indicating the magnitude of growth.
Around 79% of personal loan originations for consumption were of a value less than INR 10,000.
The report further contends that this was made possible with the development of embedded credit and wider acceptance of UPI payments across sectors and geographies.
