- Loan portfolio grew by 69 percent in 2012-13, after a brief period of consolidation post the Andhra
- Pradesh crisis; most of the growth has happened following the takeover by IntelleCash in September 2012
- 30+ dpd has declined sharply over the past 12 months and was nearly 1 percent as on April 30, 2013; this follows a sustained period of high delinquencies immediately after the Andhra Pradesh crisis
- Has relationships with over 10 lenders comprising banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions for funding; also raises funds through securitization
