Debt marketplace Yubi partners with SBI to enable co-lending to priority sectors: The State Bank of India (SBI) and Yubi have teamed up to expand the bank’s co-lending portfolio. SBI will be connected with Yubi Co.Lend, a marketplace for co-lending that allows lenders to work with numerous partners and distribute joint loans to the priority sector.

Benefits of Yubi’s co-lending platform

• As per the Yubi. Co.Lend website, the platform has so far disbursed loans of more than Rs. 5,000 crores. It has more than 500 partners and more than 10 lakh retail customers.
• The strategic alliance’s goal is to enable seamless and speedier loans to the priority sector, lowering the country’s credit gap in the process.
• In accordance with the agreement, Yubi Co.Lend will help SBI expand its co-lending business by helping it work with a wide range of non-banking financial organizations (NBFOs), housing finance organizations (HFCs), and fintech. Additionally, Yubi will develop, oversee, and manage SBI’s co-lending portfolio.
• To improve the user experience, the platform will also guarantee complete compliance. SBI can select its co-lending partners, develop its co-lending product line, and electronically manage operations using Yubi’s co-lending platform.
• The end-to-end co-lending infrastructure that Yubi has built using technology will help them diversify their loan portfolio across asset classes. Through this agreement, $1 trillion in the capital could be made available for lending in priority sectors to tier 2, tier 3, and tier 4 cities, small businesses, and farmers.
• A framework for collaboration between two financial institutions, such as a bank and an NBFC, to jointly fund the client’s needs is provided by co-lending. With this arrangement, a bank’s low-cost funding is combined with an NBFC’s local expertise in sourcing and customer care.
