Account Aggregator is a type of RBI regulated entity that helps individuals securely and digitally access and share information from one financial institution they have an account with to any other regulated financial institution in the AA network.

  • **Reduced Documentation**: No need for physical document submission
  • **Better Credit Assessment**: Lenders get comprehensive financial picture
  • **Lower Costs**: Reduced operational costs for both lenders and borrowers

    • How It Works:

  • Faster loan approval decisions

    • The AA framework is set to transform how we apply for loans, making the process faster, more secure, and completely digital.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. The AA framework seems like a game-changer for loan applications. When will it be fully implemented across all banks?
