Xiaomi, India’s number one smartphone and smart TV brand today announced Mi Credit, its digital lending solution in India. Mi Credit is Xiaomi’s second Mi Finance solution to be launched in India after Mi Pay.

Mi Credit is an online curated marketplace for lending, to offer the best personal loans to Mi Fans. The current lending partners are primarily NBFCs or Fintechs such as Aditya Birla Finance Limited, Money View, EarlySalary, Zestmoney and CreditVidya. It’s built as the first personal loan choice for aspirational young professionals and millennials. Mi Credit  solves most  challenges associated with the traditional lending industry with a 100 per cent digital experience.
 
Mi Credit provides an easy application process for securing loans, with an intuitive interface. First time users can complete the digital application form within five minutes, and repeat customers can avail a loan with one click disbursement. Once the loan is approved within minutes, the consumer has the option to choose the amount and the tenure of the loan. The digital advantage also shows in realtime disbursement of loans and lower interest rates. Since Mi Credit is designed as a platform with multiple lending partners, it ensures higher success rate, with higher loan amount at a lower interest rate than any other existing solutions in the market.

Mi Fans can also check their credit score instantly on the app, for free, a service which is powered by Experian. Experian is a global leader in consumer and business credit reporting. All user data on Mi Credit is stored securely in encrypted format in India through our partner Amazon Web Services Cloud Infrastructure.
