Gold loans surge at NBFCs in July as banks see moderation in growth
Gold loan demand is rising fast. In July, non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) lending against gold jewellery grew 68.5% year-on-year. Banks also grew, but at a calmer 88.1%, down from 136.4% a year earlier. For borrowers, this means more lenders are offering gold-backed credit. So compare interest rates, loan-to-value and safety before pledging your jewellery. Higher competition may help you get a better deal.
