“Financial products are quite complex and diverse and our model aims to provide complete and honest advise and support to retail consumers to take best decisions for their key financial needs. Currently, we provide only home loan on our platform and will be adding personal loans and credit cards shortly,” said Vipul Sharma, co-founder of Chqbook.
