How it works

From your gold to your bank account.

Firstfund never holds your gold or your money. The lender you choose does.

  1. Apply now

    Share your mobile number, PIN code and the amount you need. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.

  2. Choose a lender

    See which RBI-regulated banks and NBFCs give gold loans where you live, and pick the one that suits you.

  3. Get your gold checked

    The lender checks the purity and weight of your gold in front of you and explains any deduction, for stones for example.

  4. Get the money

    You sign the loan agreement, which describes your gold and its value. The money goes to your bank account.

  5. Repay and take your gold back

    Once you repay in full, the lender gives your gold back on the same day or within 7 working days.

Each lender sets its own process. Some lenders also come to your home to check the gold.

Questions

Gold loan FAQs.

How much can I borrow against my gold?

RBI sets the most a lender can give against your gold: 85% of its value for loans up to ₹2.5 lakh, 80% for loans over ₹2.5 lakh up to ₹5 lakh, and 75% above ₹5 lakh. Each lender decides the final amount from the weight and purity of your gold.

Who keeps my gold during the loan?

The lender you choose keeps it in safe custody until you repay. Firstfund never holds your gold or your money. Your loan agreement describes your gold and its value.

How do I repay a gold loan?

It depends on the lender. You can pay EMIs, or pay interest during the loan and the amount you borrowed at the end. Where the whole amount is paid at once at the end, RBI allows a tenure of up to 12 months, which the lender may renew.

When do I get my gold back?

On the same day you repay in full, or within 7 working days at most. If the lender is late, RBI rules make it pay you ₹5,000 for every day after those 7 working days.

What happens if I can’t repay?

Talk to your lender first. A lender can auction gold only after giving you notice and a public notice, at a reserve price of at least 90% of the gold’s current value. Any money left after the loan is settled must be given back to you.

Will my gold be checked in front of me?

Yes. RBI rules say you must be present when the lender checks your gold at the start of the loan, and any deduction, for stones for example, must be explained and written down.

Does Firstfund charge a fee?

No. Applying through Firstfund is free. The lender’s own charges are shown in its Key Fact Statement before you accept.
