MobiKwik Receives RBI Approval for NBFC Licence to Launch Lending Subsidiary

One MobiKwik Systems has received Reserve Bank of India approval for a non-banking financial company (NBFC) licence, enabling it to launch MobiKwik Financial Services Private Limited, a wholly owned lending subsidiary. This move allows the fintech firm to expand regulated lending operations, offering secured and unsecured loans to consumers and MSMEs, particularly in underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. The company plans to leverage AI and its large user base to deliver personalized credit products, with operations commencing after RBI issues the Certificate of Registration.
