NOMAD MARKETPLACE
Nomad Credit is an education loan marketplace that allows you to search for potential loan options from multiple banks and lenders in the USA and India based on your profile.
As part of this, you may be eligible for INR loan options, which are education loan options originated by an Indian lender, NBFC, or bank that are denominated in Indian Rupees.
Our expert team has deep connections to Indian education loan lenders and can help you understand the potential INR loan options that may be available to you.
Further, they can show you how to get a pre-application review to understand potential loan option amount and interest rate ranges that may be available to you.
WHAT ARE INR LOAN OPTIONS?
