My View – Why I don’t like ZestMoney

Applying for this app is simple and straightforward. However, one limitation is that you are unable to take screenshots from your mobile device. It’s natural to question why this restriction exists and whether it reflects any ill intentions. Personally, I encountered this issue when applying for a limit from Zestmoney.

They disallowed screenshots during the application process, which made me hesitant to conduct business with them. Despite offering a good limit, their behavior did not sit well with me, leading me to conclude that it’s not a suitable company for future transactions.

There seems to be a lack of clarity regarding the EMI interest rates when making a purchase and paying the bill. It’s not ideal for me to only find out about the interest details at the time of making the payment.

Companies like Amazon and Flipkart, on the other hand, provide clear information about the interest charged by credit cards for selected products, as well as the interest rates and EMI details for the “pay later” option.

This level of transparency is crucial for me to trust them. While they do offer loans, it’s important for me to know and understand the interest I will be paying against that loan.
