A New Approach to Inclusive Credit

Sarthi Money serves borrowers who rely on gold loans as a practical and immediate source of capital. Many of these customers live in semi-urban and rural areas where paperwork, frequent branch visits, and lengthy onboarding cycles can limit access to timely credit.

To elevate this experience, Sarthi Money partnered with Melento to modernise its documentation, reduce paperwork friction, and build trust through a more organised and transparent process.

The Challenge

Manual Onboarding and KYC Verification

Sarthi Money was experiencing process delays related to digital onboarding and customer KYC verification. Their representative had to visit customers based on their availability to procure all KYC documents, verify customer address proof, and manually get signatures in all the onboarding documents. The onboarding process used to take more than 10 days to complete due to heavy reliance on manual paperwork.

The Turning Point

Adopting Melento’s Digital Onboarding Process

Melento (formerly SignDesk) digitized Sarthi Money’s onboarding process to scale their customer operation.
It eliminated manual touchpoints and reduced paper dependencies with a secure, automated, and regulatory-compliant KYC verification, digital signature, and digital stamping workflow to process thousands of documents every day.
