These are challenging times for all and everyone is doing everything possible to provide services to the community.

Pledging its support towards India's fight against COVID-19 pandemic, CashBean, one of the leading micro-lending applications, together with IN-DEED foundation, today announced a host of initiatives to support and empower Indians in these testing times.

To ensure that the Indians are fully equipped, safe and motivated to fight the COVID-19 battle, the company is providing food and sanitation items such as sanitizers, liquid soaps, cotton masks and other home cleaning products to over 50,000 Indians. Additionally, CashBean is donating a sum of INR 1 million to the PM CARES fund, reinforcing its commitment to local communities.
