Airtel Payments Bank’s customers can now apply for a gold loan from Muthoot Finance within a minute on the Airtel Thanks app.

The latest offering, which will add to Airtel Payments Bank’s digital banking product portfolio, would enable easy credit access for the payments bank’s customers.

With this partnership, Airtel Payments Bank customers can get hassle-free gold loans with zero processing fees from Muthoot Finance. Muthoot Finance gives as much as 75 per cent of the pledged gold value as a loan. Customers get doorstep disbursals for loan amounts of ₹50,000 and above.

Customers can also apply for a gold loan by visiting any of the 500,000 neighbourhood banking points for Airtel Payments Bank.
