How to Start Investing?

You can just open one account but that’s all you need! With this account you can fund several loans and have a dashboard view of your loan portfolio.

To lend on the Monexo marketplace, you must meet the following basic criteria. As an individual:
  • Age – Minimum 18 years & Maximum 80 years
  • Holding valid PAN card in India
  • Having valid proof for an address in India
  • Having valid bank account in India
  • Having valid mobile number in India and E-mail ID
As a business/Company
  • Institution should be a registered entity under Companies Act, 2013 in India
  • Holding a valid PAN for the business entity
  • Having valid proof for an address in India
  • Having valid bank account in India
  • Having valid mobile number in India and E-mail ID for an employee who is authorized to operate on Monexo`s portal.
Note: These are the minimum requirements. All investors are subject to Monexo’s screening and approval process.

At Monexo, the initial amount required for lending is Rs. 10,000/-

Peer to Peer lending, like other asset classes, works best with portfolio diversification. With an initial investment of Rs. 10,000, you can build a lending portfolio across 10+ loans which ensure investment risks are largely minimized – enabling you to enjoy high yields consistently. Smaller investments result in the concentration of portfolio across fewer loans and hence do not provide for sufficient levels of diversification. Hence, initial investment of less than Rs. 10,000 is NOT recommended.

Monexo is an RBI regulated NBFC.

As a platform enabling financial transactions, we believe in dealing with Individuals who are NOT on Government Blacklist for involvement in any illegal activities. Furthermore, we support the efforts of the Indian Government to combat money laundering. We are able to carry out the required checks thanks to the documents you submitted.

Finally, your documents are stored electronically with high level security.

You can transfer funds to Monexo through any of the following options:

  1. National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT)
  2. Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)
  3. Immediate Payment Service (IMPS)
  4. From Monexo Investor App (Recommended )

As per RBI guidelines as amended upto October 5, 2021

(https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=11137)

The following limits are applicable to any person lending on P2P platforms:

  • You can lend a maximum of Rs. 50 lakhs across all P2P lending platform. ( Net Worth Certificate from a Chartered account is mandatory for investments above Rs.10 Lakhs )
  • You can fund a maximum of Rs. 50,000 per loan as per RBI.  However Monexo Investors can fund a maximum of Rs.5000/- only for diverfication.

By agreeing Monexo T&C’s you are agreeing to the above.

As an approved lender, you make the lending decision, decide on the amount to fund and manage your own money. You can create a portfolio of loans based on your return expectation and risk taking capacity.

Monexo will be originating borrowers  with following broad characteristics:

  • living in India
  • having regular identifiable income from Salary
  • loan amount required between ₹3,000 to ₹1,00,000.

We believe P2P lending is about ‘credit inclusion’ at fair terms of interest.

Every loan application received by Monexo is screened and given a Monexo Rating.

Conservative, Moderate and High Risk are the ratings with Conservative being the best. The interest rate associated with these ratings will vary based on Monexo’s policy.

Once the loan listing is approved, the Monexo Rating is displayed in the marketplace along with the loan listing details for you to view.

Do note that Monexo Ratings are not a guarantee from Monexo on the performance of the loans.

All investments involve risk, but we are 100% committed to providing outstanding products and customer service, and protecting the safety and security of your personal information. Risks are addressed through:

  • Online security measures
  • Third party, independent trust company holding the funds
  • Diversification – by lending to many borrowers

Monexo has also partnered with CRIF Highmark Bureau in India and built a proprietary credit scoring model based on decades of payment behaviour by millions of Indian consumers to financial institutions in the past. This scoring predicts the probability of repayment by the borrower.

Diversification is an important feature in peer-to-peer lending. It gives you the ability to lend small amounts to different loans instead of funding one loan in entirety without the administrative hassle of managing these small loan amounts. By diversifying the amount that you lend to a number of borrowers, your risks are reduced.

On Monexo marketplace you can lend as little as ₹ 1,000 per loan thus with ₹ 1,00,000 you can have 100 different borrowers in your portfolio with different risk profiles and tenor of repayment.

Instead of funding an entire loan, you can participate by funding parts of loans.

You may choose to spread your money across several loans in order to create a diversified portfolio. Using sort & filter functions, you can balance the risks & returns and build a loan portfolio that suits your goals. You can choose a mix of different loan products, loan amounts, tenors, Monexo ratings and purpose of loan etc.

How Lending Works?

The current minimum amount you can lend on a loan application is ₹ 1,000. You can fund a loan in multiples of ₹ 1,000. This can change in the future, in that case our website will be updated with the new amount.

New Loans are listed on a daily basis.  Please login to the Mobile App to check for new listings. 

Once the loan is listed on the marketplace it will start showing in the “Primary Market” tab in the app.

We also recommend you to opt for Auto Invest ( Please read more about Auto Invest in the next tab)

You manage your own money.

Monexo App gives you flexibility to withdraw your available balance (un invested balance) at any point of time. You need to login to the app and place a withdrawal request.  The withdrawal request received between Monday to Friday before 3 pm are processed on the same day, except banking holidays.

By reinvesting your funds in the marketplace, you will earn better yields.

When a borrower makes a repayment on a loan, after a short processing time, your portion of the payment will be added to your available cash balance in your escrow account. You can use the funds to invest in more loans or transfer them to your bank account, as you wish.

The borrower has the option to prepay the balance loan amount, provided he/ she intends to repay 100% of the amount due (including the interest due till date) in one go before the due date. There is no penalty or charge to the borrowers for prepayment. On receiving the balance amount from the borrower, your portion of the repayment received will be added to your available cash balance in your escrow account.

However, partial prepayments are not allowed.

Monexo Auto Invest

Monexo Auto-Invest is a feature that helps you to automatically invest in loan listings without manually viewing and funding each loan. All you need to do is choose your lending criteria that will be applied each time, loans get listed in the marketplace. If the loans match your criteria, your order will be placed.

With Monexo Auto – Invest you can setup your own lending criteria based on desired diversification & risk/ return expectations. You keep control and have the flexibility to change criteria any time. You can continue to manually fund loans while you are a user of Monexo Auto-Invest.

When you turn on Auto – Invest, the funds available in your escrow account are queued for funding the loans in the marketplace. We call this queue as the Investment Queue.

Monexo Auto-Invest engine runs daily at 10am IST, 12 noon IST, 3pm IST and 8pm IST. It finds those loans that are listed in the marketplace that meet lending rules of investors that have opted for auto-invest. It checks the cash balance of these investors.

It funds loans automatically these investors based on FIFO (First In First Out) method i.e. the funds which are queued first will be used first to fund loans

Secondary Market

The secondary market is the mechanism which allows lenders to sell their Investment Orders. Lenders (assigners) can sell (assign) the balance amount in Investment Order on the secondary market to others lenders (assignees) when they buy it.

The Monexo Secondary Marketplace cannot provide a guarantee that Investment order will be sold as it depends on availability of the buyer. However, under ordinary market conditions, the secondary market typically sells Investment Order within a few days. The proceeds from the sale of Investment Order are credited to seller escrow account

The Monexo secondary market is open to all Active lenders of Monexo. Any person registered at Monexo as a lender and have deposited at least 1L rupees in the escrow account is the active lender. Individuals registered as borrower with Monexo cannot participate in Monexo Secondary Marketplace.

Currently, Investment Orders with late payments or defaults cannot be listed on marketplace. 

No, neither the buyer (assignee) nor the seller (assigner) can cancel a secondary market transaction.

The listing to sell gets cancelled in 2 scenarios – either if the listing duration of 72 hours is complete or if during the listing the loan status has changed from current to overdue. 

Security

IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited (ITSL) is a third party administrator. Monexo is the pioneer in India to bring this global best practice.

ITSL serves a key role in holding funds and executing orders of investors and borrowers. Your money is in your control through the ITSL escrow account. By keeping an arm’s length from the funds of investors and borrowers, Monexo provides the following safeguards to its customers:

(a) Monexo will not be able to use customers’ funds for internal operation or other matters and

(b) It serves as a business continuity plan in case Monexo ceases to operate

An important aspect of Monexo’s offering to customer is the seamless online and swift fulfilment of borrowers and investors need through ITSL. By this mechanism, borrowers and investors do not interact directly with each other for exchange of funds and maintain their anonymity. This also benefits the borrowers as they will receive a single credit into their bank account with the full loan amount instead of getting multiple credits from each lender who has committed funds to his loan.

Do note, ITSL simply acts as an administrator and does not guarantee your investment in any way.

All borrowers are required to provide auto-debits to their bank account for their monthly repayments. They are given monthly email reminders prior to their payment due date.

The borrower is given 2 days grace period from the EMI due date to make the payment.

If the borrower does not transfer money within the grace period, reminders are sent by email and phone calls.

 

Monexo follows screening criteria for approving borrowers. However, Monexo cannot guarantee repayment of loans as borrowers may miss repayments due to various reasons.

When a borrower misses a payment, Monexo makes reasonable efforts as permitted by RBI regulations to collect outstanding payments. Regular follow up with the borrower is done by Monexo for overdue amount.

When the overdue is for more than 30 days, it is referred to an approved collection agency / law firm / an arbitrator to facilitate collection of the overdue amount on your behalf. The fees payable to the collection agency is borne by Monexo and in lieu of this the late payment fee and penal charges collected from borrowers will be appropriated by Monexo to meet the costs.

Monexo has appointed an independent administrator, IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited (ITSL) to manage the escrow account. In the event of Monexo’s assets being harmed or Monexo going into liquidation, this will not affect your money. This still belongs to you. For money that has been lent, ITSL will continue to receive repayments from borrowers and distribute the collected payments to the investors.

Redemption Through Secondary Market

He will be able to realise the balance principal on the date of redemption and the unrealised interest till the date of redemption.

You can redeem your loans which are older than 6 months from the date of Initial fund transfer. e.g., if you have transferred funds to Monexo’s Escrow A/c on 17/11/2023 you are eligible to redeem the loans at 17/5/2024.

P2P (peer to peer) investments allow you to lend directly to qualified borrowers, eliminating the need for a middleman such as banks or traditional NBFCs. P2P NBFCs such as Monexo facilitate transactions between qualified borrowers and willing investors.

Yes, peer-to-peer lending in India is governed by strict regulations. On October 4th, 2017, the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) released the final regulatory guidelines for Peer to Peer lending in India, recognising platforms engaged in the business of Peer to Peer lending as a new class of NBFC’s (“NBFC – P2P”). The RBI has clearly laid out the NBFC registration process, scope of permitted activities, minimum capital requirement, and other key operational parameters, all with the goal of ensuring that P2P lending platforms provide a transparent, rewarding experience for both investors and borrowers.
