About
The majority of Indian adults don’t have viable ways to start building credit. Many of them don’t even know their credit score or don’t know how to improve their current one. Once they do decide to start their credit journey, they are left frustrated when told the main way to build is through having the credit products they were told they don’t yet qualify for.
Astu Credit has been specialising in solving consumer's chicken and egg problem of credit by helping them build a credit score without a credit card or loan. We help them by converting their existing expenses into credit payments and report it the bureau without hampering their cashflow.
