Is your loan app real or a scam? Check it free in seconds
Key Takeaways
Check every loan app on your phone at gocredit.money/loan-app before submitting any documents or accepting any loan offer.
If an app shows 'not found', immediately stop all interaction, do not share Aadhaar or bank details, and use the reporting channels the tool provides.
Note the grievance officer name and RBI Ombudsman route shown for any verified app — save it before you borrow, not after a dispute.

Here's what happened: GoCredit launched a free Loan App Checker at gocredit.money/loan-app that searches RBI's official directory of 1,024 digital lending apps and 9,200+ RBI-registered entities.. Google Play's India policy already requires loan apps to be listed in RBI's DLA directory — an unlisted app legally should not be offering personal loans on the store.. The Indian government has blocked 87 illegal loan apps under the IT Act, but their names are confidential by law — making independent verification tools the only practical defence for borrowers..
What you should do: Check every loan app on your phone at gocredit.money/loan-app before submitting any documents or accepting any loan offer.. If an app shows 'not found', immediately stop all interaction, do not share Aadhaar or bank details, and use the reporting channels the tool provides.. Note the grievance officer name and RBI Ombudsman route shown for any verified app — save it before you borrow, not after a dispute..
A loan app can have a polished UI, Google Play listing, and 4-star reviews and still be unregistered — always cross-check the lender name, not just the app brand.
