The company has 478 branches through which it sources customers, but a large part of the collections and servicing is done digitally.
“92% of our customers are registered with the ACH (automated clearing house) mode for their repayments; even in cases where there is a payment bounce, we collect 30% of those payments digitally and the rest through our field collection teams,” he added. Sharma is looking forward to digital public infrastructure like the NBFC-Account Aggregator ecosystem which he believes could help in credit operations greatly. Aye Finance operates on the cluster-lending model catering to industries like textiles, dairy, manufacturing and trading.
According to a July 19 report by India Ratings and Research, almost 60% of the company’s assets under management are secured through mortgage and hypothecation of underlying inventory. Its AUM as of May 2024 totalled Rs 4,670 crore. The average loan was for around Rs 1 lakh.
