The unique kiosk uses germicidal technology to expose the gold ornaments to UVC light in a closed box to get rid of germs and viruses to the extent of 99.9% and is designed in such a way that there is zero contact between the borrower and the staff. The technology will make it possible for everyone to avail a gold loan safely during the pandemic with the kiosk. In response to COVID-19, Rupeek will be installing this kiosk at multiple locations across the country starting with Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai in phases to ensure easy flow of credit to the businesses and help them get back on their feet.
“In-line with Rupeek’s innovative solutions for gold loans for the borrowers and the banks, Rupeek wanted to come up with a safe way of pledging gold for our doorstep as well as in-branch offerings. We gathered input from our customers and partners, iterated through multiple prototypes, all within the last couple of months and are very happy to present the RupeekZ kiosk. We hope that we create an environment of safe and easy credit for our customers, banking partners and employees alike,” said Prasad Shahane, Head of Lender Partnerships, Rupeek Fintech.
The technology is completely indigenous, flexible and scalable enough to be installed across the country in a short span of time. Rupeek is currently operational in 11 cities and looking to expand further in the coming months.
