When you need money quickly, a professional-looking app and a promise of instant approval can feel reassuring. But appearances are not enough. Take a few minutes to check the lender, the terms and the way the app handles your information. These simple checks can help you avoid fake loan apps and make a safer borrowing decision.

Check the lender first

A genuine loan offer clearly names the legal lender or lending partner and provides its company and regulatory details. Check this information on the official website, offer documents and loan agreement before sharing your documents. For example, KreditCall is a digital lending platform powered by Usha Financial Services Limited (UFSL); the lender details should appear in KreditCall’s official documents and loan terms.

Verify the official channel

Type the lender’s website address yourself or use its verified app-store listing. Check the domain, app publisher, privacy policy, terms, contact details and grievance process. For KreditCall, use kreditcall.com or the official app listing and compare the lender information with your offer documents. Its published support channels are support@kreditcall.com and 0120-4320775. If a message, number or payment request does not match the official details, stop and verify it before proceeding.

Read the complete offer

Before accepting, check the loan amount, net disbursal, interest rate, APR, fees, taxes, EMI, repayment schedule and total repayment in the offer and Key Facts Statement. A low EMI alone does not show the full cost.

Avoid pressure and protect your details

Guaranteed approval, no-KYC claims, hidden charges and urgent payment requests are warning signs. Never share your OTP, UPI PIN, card PIN or banking password, and never pay an approval fee to a personal UPI account. Borrow only what fits your budget.

  • Use only the official app listing.
  • Keep records of suspicious messages or calls.
  • Contact the official grievance channel if something feels wrong.

Before you borrow

  • Check the lender or lending partner and its credentials.
  • Read the Key Facts Statement and loan agreement.
  • Compare APR, applicable charges and total repayment.
  • Never share your OTP, PIN or banking password.
  • Borrow only what you can comfortably repay.
