National : North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (NEDFi) and Veefin Solutions Limited, Mumbai, have recently signed a comprehensive contract to implement a state-of-the-art digital lending ecosystem for NEDFi, which is designed to enhance credit access across the North Eastern Region of India.

The digital transformation will also feature dedicated mobile applications for sales and collection, alongside a specialized customer portal to provide a seamless, end-to-end digital experience for borrowers. The solution will further integrate with various external systems, including credit bureaus and banking APIs, to create a unified and efficient financial ecosystem.

On the occasion, CMD NEDFi Shri PVSLN Murty said: “Once it is fully implemented within the next few months, the new software will help NEDFi reach out to entrepreneurs in far-flung areas of the North-Eastern Region by using technology solutions.
