This offer is pmade based on your creditworthiness, and with the lender already completing their evaluation before sending the offer, the processing and disbursal time for such loans is usually quick.

Usually, the bank where a person’s savings account is maintained, qualifies the person for a pre-approved loan. There are many FinTech platforms who have your financial details, also qualifying their customers for a pre-approved personal loan. IDFC FIRST Bank also qualifies its savings bank account customers and other relationship holders for pre-approved loans.
