CSB Bank’s Gold Loan Soars up by 47% For Q2

An increase in gold prices would give the gold loans an edge over other loans. Other drivers for the gold loan market are the challenges that customers might face while getting any other type of unsecured loans. Due to the lack of formal documentation, and the adversely affected finances owing to the economic slowdown, it has become challenging for individuals and entities to stay afloat.
