Surat (Gujarat) [India], September 14:  Surat-based digital lending platform Nowofloan.com is revolutionising the lending business. The startup has tied up with multiple banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to launch a membership card that can allow members to get loan approval digitally in just 30 minutes.

Since its launch on 24th July 2019, Nowofloan.com has emerged as the most trusted multiple bank loan offer membership card provider. The membership card allows loan seekers to approach various lending institutions through the platform and avail of quick loans of up to Rs. 15 lakh at attractive interest rates.

Through its specialised lending process and multiple tie-ups, the platform has served more than 10,000 customers in a short span of 10 months.

So how does the process work? Individuals or businesses looking for loans submit the necessary documents digitally on Nowofloan.com. The platform, in turn, prepares a file and forwards it to multiple partner banks and NBFCs, who match the prospective borrower’s profile and give the loan approval. In many cases, more than one lender is willing to lend, giving the individual or business the choice to pick the lender.

“Getting a loan is a time-consuming process as it involves approaching the bank or NBFC, submitting loan documents, seeking approval, submitting more documents if the loan gets approved, before getting the funds in their account. Through Nowofloan.com, loan seekers can reach out to multiple lenders simultaneously with minimum paperwork and get loan approval in 30 minutes,” said Mr. Arvind of Nowofloan Service India Private Limited.

Another key benefit of the membership card is that the CIBIL score gets affected every time a loan seeker approaches a lender. But, with Nowofloan, the file is opened only in banks or NBFCs where the profile matches, and hence there is no adverse impact on the borrower’s CIBIL score.

“The primary objective of Nowofloan.com is to provide excellent customer experience, personalised customer service, and scale up lending business through digitalization,” said Mr. Arvind.

Nowofloan.com offers two types of membership cards for prospective borrowers, one a Premium membership car for personal loans and the second a Platinum membership card for business loans. The card allows users to seek loans on the portal and also offers them attractive referral payouts. The users also get ten years of free consultancy on getting loans.

The platform has also launched a channel partner card that allows members to earn extra money in commission on every approved loan file sourced through them.

“Around 1,000 loans are being sanctioned through Nowofloan.com  every month now. But this is just the beginning, and we aim to process many times more applications going ahead,” added Mr. Arvind.

September 15: Who doesn’t wish for glowing skin throughout the day and with the ongoing stress level in daily life and still looking glowing and refreshing has become a challenge for all.

Did you know that sunscreen is just as important when indoors as when outdoors? That’s right. So, whether you want optimum sun protection or just a non-irritating formula for your skin, choose from Japanese brand Biore’s UV range that has sunscreens to suit every skin type.

For a lot of us, 2020 turned out to be a year of introspection, one which, in many ways, forced us to recalibrate our lives and develop healthier habits. From eating wholesome meals and working out at home to following a strict skincare routine, the year gone by has seen us make positive changes to our lifestyles. Yet, despite following a dedicated skincare routine, many of us are guilty of overlooking a very important product. We are talking about sunscreen.

Our country’s hot and humid climate, coupled with the thick, goopy consistency of most sunscreens, is one of the main reasons many people skip this step altogether. Boasting a unique Micro Defense formula, patented by the Kao Corporation, the technology uses a capsule packed with a UV protection agent that evenly coats the skin, shielding it from UV rays at an invisible micro-level. What does this mean? Uniform application and consistent protection from UVA and UVB rays, along with being water and sweat resistant.

Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence| SPF 50+ PA++++ (50 G/ Rs. 1270) – Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen is developed with SPF 50+ and PA++++. This sunscreen leaves the skin feeling light even if applied repeatedly during the day and absorbs instantly without leaving a white cast. It has a smooth and fresh texture that feels light on the skin. Also ideal to use as a make-up base for a perfectly smooth foundation finish.

Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel | SPF 50+ PA++++ (90 ml / Rs. 1680) – Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel has a light watery gel form, it is easy to apply and evenly spreads smoothly over the whole body without leaving a white cast and also through the optical veil effect skin looks bright and beautiful while keeping it moisturized at the same time.

Why Biore?

According to a survey conducted by Karvy Insights, among 225 sunscreens users in Delhi & Mumbai, 96.4% claimed that they were satisfied with Biore, while 95.1% of users claimed it to be their permanent choice for sun protection and 87.1% users believe that Bioré makes your everyday life happy!

About Bioré: Launched in Japan in 1980, Bioré is one of the country’s leading brands in makeup removers and sunscreens. It is also one of the world’s leading face and body care representatives in more than 60 countries. Inspired by the Greek idea “satisfied with life”, Bioré has become one of the most advanced products in dermatological science to make daily skincare easy and uncomplicated for its consumers.
