Digital education is helping students participate and excel in the knowledge-driven economy. Put together, we believe this is a real-life example of how digital-credit and digital-education are re-shaping modern India for the better and how startups like ours are leading the way there” Rajveer, Co-founder, OnlineTyari resonated,” We aim to bring convenience for our users at every touch point on OnlineTyari platform, including Payment Options. Partnership with ePayLater will certainly eliminate frictions involved in payment process and offer greater value to our users.”. Students and young professionals form a large but often ignored market segment. Currently, the availability of credit to students at the point of checkout is almost negligible. This customer segment varies from biggest metros to the smallest hamlets and of different age groups that often lack credit histories. This lack of a viable credit history coupled with the absence of an income structure makes them ineligible for traditional credit cards. In spite of these challenges, ePayLater’s algorithms and advanced machine learning techniques have been able to do a real-time credit assessment, making it possible for students to get access to credit at the point of checkout.
