Information only
Credila Financial Services is a non-banking financial company (NBFC), regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It is a specialist in education loans for study in India and abroad. Its registered and corporate office is in Santacruz East, Mumbai. Unlike a bank, an NBFC cannot take demand deposits such as savings or current accounts, so a loan from it is not a bank loan even though it works in a similar way.

Before you apply
- Ask for the Key Fact Statement (KFS) before you accept an offer. It shows the annual percentage rate (APR), all charges and the repayment schedule in one place.
- Compare the APR, not just the stated interest rate, because processing and other charges set by the lender change the real cost.
- Check the lender's processing fee, foreclosure and part-payment terms, and penal charges. These are set by the lender.
- Read the sanction letter for the name of the legal entity that is lending, as group companies often have similar names.
- Check your credit score (CIBIL or another bureau) and your existing EMIs first. Checking your own score does not lower it.
- Apply only where you are likely to qualify. Too many lender checks in a short time can lower your score.
You can see current rates on the interest rates page and estimate repayments with the EMI calculator.
