Essential Ethical Guidelines for Loan Approvals – A DSA Agent’s
Here are some of the ethical guidelines Loan DSA Agents Should Follow to provide fair and transparent Loan Approval
1. Commitment to Transparency
Transparency is the key to ethical loan disbursal. As a DSA Loan Agent it is your responsibility to make sure that whatever information you share with customers is clear, correct and complete. Right from the terms of loan, rate of interest, processing fees and options of repayment.
Misguiding the clients or not sharing the important details, will not only spoil your image but also ruin the trust Ruloans have build with its clients. Use the available tools like Ruconnect App to share the accurate data with clients and make them understand the loan product in detail.
2. Fair Evaluation of Loan Applications
Ruloans has partnered with India’s leading banks and financial institutions to provide an extensive range of loan products. But, even though we offer these loans, we must ensure that the evaluation of loan applications is always fair and impartial. As a Loan Advisor, you are required to evaluate each application on financial grounds only, which means creditworthiness and no prejudice.
Make sure that you use Ruconnect App to see the client CIBIL score and other details of his financials. We Ruloans believe in no doing anything wrong on our part and it’s your duty you maintain the same standards when you deal with any clients.

Ruloans’ Ruconnect App makes sure the communication and data are safe but at your end, you need to follow some simple practices to keep your client’s privacy intact. Do not discuss any client related information with unauthorized individuals and also ensure using secure modes of communication.
4. Avoid Conflicts of Interest
