  1. There is a new kid in the block who is revolutionizing the whole idea of P2P lending.
    Peer to Peer (P2P) lending platforms help individuals to borrow and lend money without any intermediaries. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulates Peer to Peer Lending platforms as a special type of P2P NBFC and has regulations to protect the interest of lenders and borrowers.
    According to me one of the most reliable forms of P2P already exists in India since last 50+ years in the form of financial services model called group savings and lending chit funds. None of the shortcomings of P2P lending are present in the group savings and lending chit funds. The only issue with chit funds was the opaqueness, trusting the chit fund and fear of losing money. But move over those old days and the fear attached with it, as India now has its own fintech of chit funds. KyePot is India’s 1st Digital Chits platform which has made digital chits easy to access, trust-able, completely safe, and transparent and is also fully in compliance as per rules and regulations of India. It is the safest way to save, invest and borrow and is also much better than a P2P NBFC lending concept:
    1. Home grown & Indian concept – KyePot have taken the age old Indian concept of people saving, investing and borrowing in a group from each other, or peer to peer or crowd funding, and made it online, transparent and 100% legally compliant as per rules and regulations of India. Read here how it’s regulated https://www.kyepot.com/blog/how-are-group-savings-borrowing-chit-funds-regulated-in-india?lang=en. We Indians have a tendency in the past to just copy the western concepts, but the times have changed with Indian startups building the Make in India innovation for Indian consumers. KyePot is one such platform and it is India’s 1st Digital Chits platform to become the popular group and p2p group savings & lending and create a fintech p2p platform for people to save, invest and borrow. The Indian group savings and lending chit fund concept is already a $50 Billion industry and KyePot’s aim is to transform the industry.
    2. It is easy to understand – The mobile app is very user friendly and easy to navigate through. Users can pick a plan that best fits their goals, lifestyle, income, make regular payments, earn better monthly returns than comparable financial products, and also borrow when we need the money.
    3.

Various categories of group savings are there to cater to the goals of different users according to their need of the hour. Every month you save money, get dividends and you can borrow when you need at a lowest cost
    4. Not subject to market risks – Market performance doesn’t affect the savings& investments in any way. The money is saved with the group alone, keeping us in control at all times and free from market risks. You must be seeing all the frenzy around ILF&S downgrade, NBFC’s share collapse and mutual funds suffering due to sell offs. KyePot digital chits are the safest investment instrument and have to risk from markets.
    5. Transparency at every stage – KyePot has brought the entire legal and regulatory transparency around digital chits by education the customers about their rights, legal process and complying with the rules and regulations and bringing everything on the mobile app.
