Reportedly operates without an RBI-registered NBFC partner. High APR and harassment complaints. AVOID.
PayMe is operated by PayMe India Financial Services Pvt Ltd (own NBFC) + Arvog/LiquiLoans/PinCap/LendBox/Arthmate, which holds its own RBI registration. That matters concretely: the Fair Practices Code, the Digital Lending Guidelines (2022) and the RBI Ombudsman scheme all apply to your loan, so you have a named regulator to escalate to if anything goes wrong.
On cost, PayMe states a ceiling of 150% APR. That is far above the 10–24% a bank or credit card charges, which means it should only ever be a days-to-weeks bridge, never a way to fund a shortfall you cannot clear next month.
Across our checks we recorded 2 concerns and 0 points in its favour for PayMe , listed in full below with what each one means for you as the borrower.
