Amazon India has launched a new cardless credit facility via Amazon Pay. The new cardless credit facility offers an EMI of up to ₹ 60,000 over a period ranging from 3 to 12 months for any purchase made through Amazon.in. Customers do not require a credit card to avail this facility. Aadhaar number, Voter ID or PAN number is required to avail the cardless EMI.
Amazon has made this feature available only on the mobile app and there’s no word about its release for the desktop site.
The e-commerce giant claims that users can get credit within 60 seconds and there are no processing fees or hidden charges of any kind.
However, the feature is applicable only on single item purchases of over ₹ 8,000 without an exchange offer.
To be eligible for this facility, a customer needs an Amazon ID, a valid Aadhar or PAN card and a bank account. Banks currently supporting this facility include Canara Bank, Citi Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Kotak Bank.
Amazon will further ensure whether the user is eligible or not by referring to details of his Amazon ID and credit history available with the bank. Customer’s credit limit will be decided by the lending partner.
