How to check your own loan in 3 minutes
- Open your loan agreement or KFS in the app and note the lender’s name.
- Match it to the lender above.
- Check your CIBIL or Experian report: the loan should appear under that lender’s name with the right amount.
Spot something wrong, like a loan you never took or a closed loan still showing as active? Raise it with the lender first. If it is not resolved within 30 days, you can escalate to the RBI Ombudsman at cms.rbi.org.in.
What could a Paizo loan cost?
An illustration using the highest APR Paizo discloses (120% a year): borrowing ₹20,000 over 3 months would mean an EMI of about ₹8,042 and total charges of about ₹4,127. Because APR already includes fees, this is a rough guide. Your actual cost is in the KFS Paizo must show you before you accept.
Compare it with other offers using our true-cost calculator and the APR vs interest rate guide.
Paizo discloses short tenures or a high APR. If you are repaying several app loans at once, find out in 2 minutes whether one loan could replace them – one EMI, one date, a clear total cost.
Customer care and complaints
- First step: contact Paizo through in-app support or the grievance officer named on the lender’s website.
- Lender’s grievance officer: every RBI-regulated lender must publish one on its website.
- Not resolved in 30 days? Escalate to the RBI Integrated Ombudsman at cms.rbi.org.in.
- Harassment or fraud: report cyber fraud at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930. See your rights against loan app harassment.
Beware of fake “Paizo customer care” numbers on social media. Only use contacts inside the official app or website.

Frequently asked questions
Is Paizo RBI approved?
RBI does not “approve” apps, but regulated lenders must report the apps they use to RBI, and RBI publishes that list. Paizo is on it, reported by Nice Finance And Leasing Pvt. Ltd, as of 5 October 2026.
Is Paizo safe to use?
Being on RBI’s list means a regulated lender is accountable for the loan. Read the KFS before you accept, borrow only what you can repay, and never share OTPs or your UPI PIN with anyone claiming to be from Paizo.
Why does my CIBIL report show a different company name?
Because the lender, not the app, reports your loan to credit bureaus. Match the name against the lender above.
Can I close a Paizo loan early?
Check the prepayment terms in your KFS. Under RBI’s digital lending rules, you can also exit a new loan during its cooling-off period by repaying the principal and proportionate APR, without penalty.
