We are MoneyTap, India’s first App-based credit line. Offered in partnership with leading banks, we are not just a personal loan, not just a credit card, but your personal credit line. Zero collateral. No guarantors needed. 

This is an exciting early stage startup in the FinTech space, based out of Bangalore. This space has seen significant investments. Last year the sector attracted $12Bn in venture money globally, up from $3Bn the year previous. In India, with the increase in aadhaar cards, the launching of the Jan Dhan Yojana scheme to get people to open bank accounts and the penetration of mobile internet - there is a huge focus on getting the un-banked and financially under-served population within the formal financial ecosystem.
