Digital Lending in Indian Banking

• Financial inclusion has always been a priority area for the government. Digital lending has provided a strong impetus to this objective, helping borrowers thatfind it difficult to tap the traditional sources of finance. As per the Digital Lending Authority of India’s estimates, the digital lending market in India is expected to growat a CAGR of over 30 per centfrom approximately USD 110 billion in 2019 to USD 350 billion in 2023.
• In recent times, banks, NBFCs and fintech companies have adopted new business models in line with the evolving credit ecosystem in the country. Besides, innovative partnership models, such as peer-to-peer lending, pay later loans, invoice financing, point of sale transaction-based lending, marketplace lending, bank-led digital lending, and captive models, have emerged.
• With the introduction of initiatives like video KYC, Aadhar-based KYC andaccount aggregators, lenders can easily access customer data with consent and ensure better due diligence.
• There have been a number of instances of such partnership models in the country. Some of the key initiatives are Indifi partnering with various banks and NBFCs to provide unsecured loans to SMEs; Bank of Baroda tying up with SwitchMe for housing loans;YES Bank launching its digital “Loan against Securities”solution;Xiaomi unveiling its lending platform Mi Credit in India; andHDFC Bank’s plan to launch a dedicated digital platform for vehicle loans. Meanwhile, the segment has seen the emergence of several fintech startups such as Lendingkart, MobiKwik, Capital Float andZest Money.
• The past few years have also seen the creation of an enabling regulatory environment to encourage the offtake of digital lending. In response to several complaints against digital lending platforms pertaining to exorbitant interest rates, aggressive recovery strategies, inadequate disclosure of loan terms, etc., the RBI, on June 24, 2020, released a Fair Practices Code requiring all digital lenders to comply with certain standards onloan disbursement and recovery procedures.
• Technology too has been a game changer for digital lending services, giving rise to fintech companies and digital lending platforms. Technological advancements and therapid adoption of technology by lending companies have reaped tangible benefitssuch as reduction in customer acquisition costs, expanding financial reach to unbanked areas, and lower operational costs.
• More recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has unleashed a host of opportunities for players in the digital lending market. Digital lenders will leverage the need for contactless transactions, the demand for small-ticket loans by a credit-starved population, and high smartphone and internet penetration. Retail and MSME lending make a strong potential business case for digital lenders.
• The mission of this conference is to discuss the recent trends and developments in the digital lending space, analyse the new and emerging business models, highlight the issues and concerns, and identify the future strategies to further develop the digital lending ecosystem. The conference will also showcase some of the noteworthy technology solutions in this area.

BLOCKCHAIN AND DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY FOR INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRY

• In recent years, banks have increasingly adopted blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) as part of their digital transformation initiatives. The use of DLT has provided banks with increased transparency, improved processing speed, better security, and tamper-proof transactions.
• Blockchainhas emerged as one of the key technology themes for both the private and public sector banks. ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Yes Bank and the State Bank of India are some of the banks leading the deployment of the blockchain technology with cross-border remittances and trade finance as the key areas where the technology is being used.
• Leveraging DLT, a consortium of India’s 11 largest banks including ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, RBL Bank, South Indian Bank, and Axis Bank launched the first ever blockchain-linked loan system for SMEs in 2019.
• The government too is working on developing a national-level blockchain framework. To firm up guidelines, in August 2019, RBI released an enabling framework for regulatory sandbox for financial service providers, including blockchain applications. In January 2020, NITI Aayog has also released a framework for the strategies to be adopted for the deployment of blockchain and DLT.
• Currently, interoperability between different blockchain platforms is not well established. Some of the key issues faced by businesses in blockchain implementation include integration and data security challenges, lack of internal awareness, and the selection of a platform.
• In the years ahead, blockchain-based e-KYC, supply chain finance, working capital finance for SMEs, and payments solutions will open up new sources of revenue and opportunities for banks. Going forward, as the regulatory environment around DLT and blockchain technology matures with the implementation of regulatory sandbox, penetration of more start-ups and an increase in investments is expected.
• The mission of this conference is to highlight the experience so far, assess the potential of blockchain and DLT in banking, understand the key challenges, and discuss the roadmap to expand the deployment of these technologies.
