Co-Lending: The Win-Win for Banks, NBFCs, and Borrowers

In today’s dynamic lending landscape, collaboration is no longer optional—it’s essential. Co-lending has emerged as a powerful model where banks and NBFCs join forces to expand credit access, reduce risk, and deliver better outcomes for borrowers. It’s a win-win-win: banks scale faster, NBFCs unlock more capital, and borrowers benefit from smoother, more affordable loans. At the heart of this transformation is Knight, empowering all stakeholders with smarter, seamless lending solutions.


For Banks :

Think about the opportunity to grow your loan portfolio without the added risk. By teaming up with multiple NBFCs, you can reach new markets and offer more loan products. Co-lending doesn’t just

help you expand your customer base—it boosts your ROI too. You’ll generate better returns while minimizing the risks. What’s more, Knight makes sure your interests are protected with pre-agreed risk management policies. So, you can sleep easy knowing everything’s under control. Co-lending also makes it easier for you to meet Priority Sector Lending (PSL) targets. Plus, Knight’s automated collection and reconciliation tools save you time and make the entire process more transparent and efficient.

For NBFCs :

As an NBFC, partnering with banks through co-lending allows you to grow your loan portfolio and offer a broader range of products without shouldering all the risk yourself. By sharing the risk with banks, you gain access to cheaper capital, which means you can pass on the savings to your borrowers through lower interest rates. This collaboration benefits both your business and your

customers, creating a win-win situation. The shared-risk model also makes it easier to grow your portfolio, and since you’re partnering with banks, you’ll see better returns on your investments. On top of that, co-lending opens up new doors, connecting you to a broader network of financial institutions, and giving you access to more financial products and services.
