Responsible Lending

Responsible lending refers to the practice of financial institutions lending money in a way that ensures borrowers can afford to repay the loan without experiencing financial hardship. This approach involves thorough assessments of a borrower’s income, expenses, and credit history before approval. The aim is to promote financial stability by preventing excessive debt and ensuring that loans are suited to the borrower's needs and circumstances. Ultimately, responsible lending protects consumers and fosters trust in the financial system, benefiting both lenders and borrowers in the long run.
