P2P Directory Part 6: Investment Apps & Gateways

Most retail investors do not interact directly with NBFC-P2P platforms. Instead, they use “Gateways”—popular apps that partner with licensed P2P entities to offer a seamless investment experience.


19. CRED Mint

The Premium Gateway.

FeatureDetail
Licensed PartnerLiquiLoans (NDX P2P)
Target ReturnsUp to 9% p.a.
EligibilityMembers with CIBIL > 750

Overview

CRED Mint allows users to lend to other “high-trust” CRED members. Because the borrower pool is highly curated (high CIBIL scores), the default rates are traditionally lower than open-market P2P, but the returns are also lower (capped around 9%).


20. MobiKwik Xtra

The Micro-Lending Gateway.
