Most of us have been in a situation where we struggle to raise funds for financial emergencies. Even with no emergency, we might have to go for a planned loan to fulfil our future requirements. My story is no different. Recently, in order to fulfil
a certain financial obligation, and since I had a substantial corpus of investments, especially in mutual funds and stocks, I decided to avail
a Loan Against Securities.
I opened a LAS account with a leading private sector bank. I was aware of how this loan type works and its basic features. However, I wasn't too happy with the outcome and services offered by that lender. I eventually closed the account and moved
on to another bank. My expectations weren't met even with the other bank, as the procedures seemed tedious and complicated. I soon realized that switching banks didn't really help. Recently, when I needed funds, I wanted to opt for the LAS
facility, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with my then-banker.
I have a friend who works with Axis Bank. When I discussed my requirement for a LAS facility against my equity holding, he informed me about Axis Bank’s 24x7 Loan Against Securities facility, which can be opened in just a few minutes. I
was a little stunned, but to help me further, he directed me to contact his teammate - Deepak.
I assumed there would be an in-person meeting with Deepak to complete the documentation the next day. However, to my surprise, he called and guided me about their digital process, which is available 24X7.
Deepak helped me select the equity stocks and mutual funds units I wanted to keep as collateral. The amount of my collateral came to around ₹12,00,000. The next step was to confirm the account details, charges and authorization process. In doing
so, I was supposed to receive an OTP on my registered mobile, which I then had to enter to confirm the loan.

However, I faced one technical glitch since it was my old mobile number, but Deepak was cooperative throughout the process and helped me update my latest mobile number quickly.
The entire loan process took just 2 to 3 minutes, and I received a high-value loan, which was transferred to my account. This quick application and disbursement procedure was timesaving, user-friendly and easy, which allowed me to meet my finances
on time.
Since I had a tight schedule, getting an instant loan at an attractive interest rate was a huge relief. Additionally, Axis Bank’s LAS offered me an overdraft
facility, wherein I can avail this facility and pay interest only on the amount utilized and for the period in which amount was utilized.
The seamless and swift experience from the digital process and the quick and cooperative response from their customer support team has made me a loyal customer of Axis Bank. Therefore, I plan to close my account with the other bank and move to
Axis Bank.
Kudos to the entire team for such a wonderful and seamless experience.
