Banks and digital lenders increasingly rely on real-time financial information to assess loan eligibility. When customers want a higher personal loan offer or faster approval, traditional document verification can slow down the process. To counter this, the Account Aggregator (AA) framework now allows borrowers to share verified financial data quickly and securely. FIRSTmoney uses this system to offer higher and more accurate loan offers to eligible applicants. 

Through this article, you will learn more about how account aggregators work and how it can improve your personal loan application experience with FIRSTmoney.

What is an account aggregator?
 

The Account Aggregator system is an RBI-regulated framework that allows customers to share bank statements and financial information digitally through a secure, OTP verification process. It helps lenders verify income, cash flow, and banking patterns without relying on physical documents.

  • Consent is required for every data request.

  • Data is shared in an encrypted format. 

  • No financial information is stored by the account aggregator.
