Google Removes Lending Apps In India To Protect Consumers

Google has removed lending apps aimed at consumers in India from Play Store in an attempt to safeguard users.

“We have reviewed hundreds of personal loan apps in India, based on flags submitted by users and government agencies,” Suzanne Frey, Vice President, Product, Android Security and Privacy said in the post. A recent investigation by Reuters found at least 10 lending apps on Play Store breached Google’s rules on loan repayment lengths aimed at protecting vulnerable borrowers.
