It had previously launched affordability instruments like no-cost EMI, debit card EMIs, buy back options, and exchange offers to its customers. The latest 'Cardless Credit' service gives customers an option to get credit and pay back the full amount later or through EMI.
The credit line is decided using transaction data, shopping history, and data from other places.
