What is a flexi loan?

A flexi loan, also known as a flexi personal loan, is a type of loan that allows borrowers to take multiple on demand loans up to their approved loan offer.

Interest is charged only on the amount utilised, not the entire approved loan offer, making it a cost-effective borrowing option.
