Public sector banks Bank of Baroda on Monday announced the launch of an end-to-end Digital Platform to facilitate co-lending of loans in partnership with NBFCs.

The company said in a statement, the platform uses rule-based algorithms for underwriting, enables credit assessment checks, enables Retail, MSME, Agri co-lending product offerings and increases process efficiency. 

The digital co-lending platform has state-of-the-art capabilities to handle both the option 1 (Non-Discretionary) and option 2 (Discretionary) models of co-lending for secured as well as unsecured products as per the latest RBI guidelines on the co-lending model, it added.

Bank of Baroda Executive Director Vikramaditya Singh Khichi said, “The Digital Co-Lending Platform will pave the way for both Bank of Baroda and our NBFC partners to seamlessly integrate and enable lending to borrowers with improved TAT. Co-lending is a priority area for the Bank and we believe that this state-of-the-art platform will help to achieve significant milestones in the coming years. The Bank is targeting to partner with atleast 10 NBFCs and also to build a Rs.10,000 crore co-lending loan book through the digital platform in the next two years."

Meanwhile, Akhil Handa, Chief Digital Officer, Bank of Baroda added, “The Digital Co-Lending Platform is an agile tech-driven multi-dimensional solution that provides an end-to-end solution for the complex accounting issues which are common under co-lending.
