What Nishwik is
Nishwik Global Fintech Private Limited is a technology and financial distribution platform. It operates as a DSA (Direct Selling Agent) and LSP (Loan Service Provider). In simple terms, Nishwik helps users discover loan and EMI options, prepare documents, and route their request to a suitable regulated partner.
Nishwik builds the technology layer — discovery, eligibility guidance, document readiness, and routing — that sits between a user and a regulated lender.
What Nishwik is not
Nishwik is not a bank. It does not hold a banking licence and does not accept deposits.
Nishwik is not an NBFC and does not lend its own money. Every loan is originated, sanctioned, and disbursed by a regulated partner bank or NBFC.
Nishwik does not guarantee loan approval, a specific interest rate, or investment returns.
Who actually provides the loan
The regulated partner institution provides the loan. The partner reviews your documents, runs a credit assessment, and decides the amount, rate, tenure, and approval. Nishwik's role ends at discovery and routing; the lending decision is entirely the partner's.
This model is common across Indian fintech and is governed by RBI's guidelines for outsourcing and digital lending.
Why this distinction matters for you
It tells you who makes the final decision: the partner, not Nishwik.
It clarifies that no one can promise guaranteed approval — be cautious of any platform that does.
It means your data is used to assist eligibility and routing, under the DPDP Act 2023, and is not sold to third parties.
