Lendbox is a Peer-to-Peer lending platform, which gets creditworthy borrowers and willing investors together to transact on short to medium term personal unsecured loans.
Lendbox goes beyond conventional forms of risk analysis of the borrower in order to serve a broader user base. Banks typically look at CIBIL or other credit bureau scores to make loan decisions. Lendbox takes into account 1000s of data points to assess the creditworthiness of the borrower such as net salary, expenditure trends, locality of stay, educational qualification, utility and mobile bills, asset holding, Investments, Credit card bills and online spending behavior etc. This approach ensures that individuals with a less favourable CIBIL score are also likely to get a loan through our platform if they are credit worthy as our proprietary machine learning algorithm generates a more holistic credit profile of the borrower.
Lendbox offers borrowers with the convenience to getting loans while sitting at home without having to visit a bank numerous times to sign papers and other formalities
We ensure that the process is completely transparent with no hidden charges levied on the borrower
Lendbox offers a streamlined and efficient approach to personal finance making the process a very pleasant experience for the borrowers
We also offer borrowers a chance to send and receive proposals from prospective investors to ensure that both parties reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I have defaulted on loan payments before, or Banks/Financial Institutions have rejected my loan application. Can I borrow on Lendbox?
No, unfortunately Lendbox will not approve of your listing if you do not meet with our credit and verification standards. However, you can work on improving your credit history by repaying your debt back and making future payments to your creditors on time and then try again once, your credit is good enough.
How are repayments calculated?
Repayments are equated monthly installments calculated using the reducing balance method. Your installment per month will remain the same throughout the tenure of your loan. The first installment may be different depending on the date of disbursal.
What information can be viewed about me?
Once your listing has been approved by Lendbox, your entire public profile can be viewed by all registered Investors.

Your financial information is shown to the Investor by default as this helps you get a loan faster. However, you have the option to block this information. You can interact with investors over messages. Financial information on your profile will not be visible to general visitors.

Yes, if at any stage the information furnished by you or the verifcation(s) initiated by us are found to be incomplete, fraudulent or unverifiable then funding request is terminated and consequently, the invest button on the profile would be de-activated. The registration amount excluding the listing fee would be returned accordingly.
What happens if Lendbox closes?
In the event of Lendbox closing, all loans that have originated through Lendbox still hold good. This is because; the agreements are still legal and are signed directly between the borrowers and investors. Our backend team will continue to collect the money from the borrowers and give it to the investors. Legal action is possible against borrower defaults.

No. At this time, you can be either Investor or Borrower. Lendbox is working on the operational feasibility of such a scenario.

Ultimately though, it is your call. We advocate complete freedom to our users to make their decisions.
Should I share my bank's credentials?
