No hidden costs. Every charge that can apply to a loan facilitated through CredBean is listed here, along with the Key Fact Statement your lending partner must give you before you sign.

Your Key Fact Statement (KFS)

Before you sign any loan agreement, the lending partner must give you a Key Fact Statement in a language you understand. It states your sanctioned amount, the all-inclusive APR, every fee, the EMI, the total amount repayable and the recovery mechanism. Nothing outside the KFS can be charged to you. If a figure on your KFS does not match what you saw on CredBean, stop and write to hello@credbean.com before signing.

Cooling-off period — 3 days

As required by the RBI Digital Lending Directions, you may exit the loan within 3 days of signing the agreement by repaying the principal and the proportionate APR, without any penalty. Tell your lending partner, or write to hello@credbean.com and we will pass the request on the same working day.

Representative example

Representative example: ₹75,000 for 18 months at 14.5% p.a. — EMI ₹4,661, total interest ₹8,902.

What we will never do

CredBean never asks for an advance fee, security deposit, membership or "processing charge" paid to a personal account before disbursal. Disbursal always goes straight from the lending partner's bank account to your own bank account — never through a wallet, agent or third party. Repayments must also be made only to the lending partner. Report anyone asking otherwise to hello@credbean.com or +91 98990 20223.
