With this integration, customers of Vakrangee can now invest and borrow through LenDenClub seamlessly.

It is one of those rare lending platforms to offer loans across 19,000+ pin codes across the country, higher than some banks. Additionally, the customers will get an excellent alternative investment opportunity on its p2p investment platform and earn attractive interest income.

Commenting on this partnership, Mr. Dinesh Nandwana, Managing Director & Group CEO, Vakrangee Ltd. said, "We are happy to partner with LendenClub to facilitate our customers with Investing and Borrowing platform in both urban as well as rural remote areas.

Commenting on the partnership, Bhavin Patel, Co-Founder & CEO, LenDenClub, said, "Despite being one of the largest consumption economies of the world, access to formal credit has been a huge challenge for a large section of the population in the country. Lack of credit history, low or no education, lack of language skills and commercially unviable geographies have curbed the reach of banks and financial institutions. At LenDenClub, through a robust tech-backed process of lending and borrowing we envision to provide masses with easy access to credit and an opportunity to build wealth in new ways. Our new partnership with Vakrangee is yet another giant leap towards this vision. It will aid in building inroads and extending P2P lending services to a large section of population residing in the country's remotest regions, who is otherwise outside the formal credit reach. We are delighted to call on Vakrangee's massive network and contribute to the nation's growth story."
