With the growth in the number of digital avenues for availing products/services, along with the government’s Digital India program, we have showcased acceptance towards the advantages offered by digital transactions. When we say digital transactions, we mean online shopping using your credit card or making payments towards ticket booking or making Loan EMI repayments. Being a digital lending platform, everything, at Loan Singh, i.e. from personal loan application to loan amount disbursement, happens digitally.

Despite so much awareness being generated by banks to promote netbanking, some of us have still not adopted internet Banking as an option.

Advantages of Net Banking

There are many advantages that Internet banking provides compared to traditional ones, making it easier to operate a bank account.

You can perform multiple financial operations at one portal. No need to stand in queues to update your passbook or pay bills.

It is available 24×7 and 365 days a year at your disposal. Now, with telecom companies making 4G Internet available, you can operate your internet banking account on the go.

Fund transfer happens quickly from your account to others, also allowing you to monitor your account against any fraudulent activity or threat.

You can easily update personal information such as PAN, Aadhaar, etc.

Safety While Using Net Banking

Your personal and financial information is stored in your bank’s internet banking account so it is important to be careful when banking online. Some tips to ensure safety while internet banking, are:

Secured Connection

When connecting to your netbanking account, make sure you do so from a trusted network.

A padlock icon on the left-hand side of the netbanking URL means the connection is encrypted

Make it a habit to include ‘https’ at the beginning of each URL

Safe Browser

A good practice is to logout from a netbanking session thus preventing session hacks. And clear your cache at the end of a session removing traces of sessions from your history. You can even use browser’s incognito mode.

Strong Password

Use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols to make it unique.

When providing answers to security questions setup by the bank, they don’t have to be genuine.

Keep changing the password at least once in 2 months.

Encryption

Always try and remember to switch-off your wi-fi when not in use. Do the same for Bluetooth. Avoid using unknown or public wi-fi/hotspots as information sent over an unsecured wireless network is information sent in plain sight – basically opening your internet banking website to anyone on that wireless network.

Protection Software

Use antivirus software on your system which prevents attacks from trojans and other malware.

Keep your operating system and other software updated.

Net Banking in Personal Loan

At Loan Singh, we expect our borrowers to provide us with their bank statement and PAN Card Number.

The bank statement should only be in PDF format, as this prevents any over writing or tampering. It is advisable to download the bank statement from your netbanking account (in PDF format) and apply for the personal loan.

You can also login into your internet banking account from the Loan Singh website. Nothing to worry, as your information is completely safe with Loan Singh.

We have our proprietary algorithm to calculate credit score based on multiple factors such as social footprint, academic & professional background, and more.
