Co-lending 101:
Decoding the complicated maze of co-lending partnerships
Read the e-book to know:

- Different models of co-lending partnerships
- The role of FinTechs in consummating this partnership
- The role of risk and collection intelligence in co-lending partnerships
Executive Summary
Co-lending is the coming together of banks and NBFCs to disburse loans. The idea behind such a structure is to leverage their comparative advantages for strengthening financial inclusion.
Although the model holds immense potential to transform priority sector lending in India, aligning divergent systems of banks and NBFCs for joint disbursal of loans can be an operational nightmare.
This e-book serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding the co-lending model, its benefits, and limitations. It also shines a light on how technology players can help with strategic alignment, process improvement, and system implementation.
“Much like marriage, co-lending is a daily challenge. Banks and NBFCs operate on different systems, divergent underwriting processes, and distinct parameters. For the partnership to stand a chance, banks and NBFCs must be prepared for constant reconciliation of their distinct personalities, traits, and dispositions.”
