FAQs

What does the TransUnion CIBIL app do, and what did NetBramha redesign?
plus iconminus icon

TransUnion CIBIL is India's largest credit information company, holding records for 500M+ Indians. NetBramha redesigned the app so a customer can understand their credit score and what's affecting it, not just view a number.

Most people encounter their credit score at a moment of financial anxiety - applying for a loan, buying a home. NetBramha's IAMIN savings app deals with a related emotional register: financial products where the user's confidence in the interface is inseparable from their confidence in their own finances.

Why is credit score UX considered a hard design problem?
plus iconminus icon

A credit score is a single number derived from dozens of underlying factors, and most users have no formal financial education to interpret it. The design challenge is translating that complexity into something actionable without oversimplifying it into something misleading.

It's a variant of the same problem NetBramha solved for ClearTax's tax filing platform, where the underlying subject (tax law, credit scoring) is genuinely complicated and the interface has to carry that complexity responsibly rather than pretend it away.

How many people does the TransUnion CIBIL redesign actually reach?
plus iconminus icon

500M+ Indians have a credit record with TransUnion CIBIL, which makes this one of the largest-population products in NetBramha's entire portfolio, comparable in scale only to BHIM.

At that population size, a single confusing screen isn't an edge case - it's a support ticket generated by millions of people. NetBramha's work on BHIM for NPCI is the only other project in the portfolio built for a comparably large, non-opt-in user base.

What other Indian credit or lending platforms has NetBramha designed?
plus iconminus icon

Beyond TransUnion CIBIL, NetBramha has designed lending and credit experiences for ONE Muthoot (gold loans), Yubi (corporate debt marketplace), and Ninjacart's farmer loan digitisation - covering consumer credit, corporate debt, NBFC lending, and agricultural credit as four distinct lending contexts.

Does understanding your credit score actually change financial behaviour?
plus iconminus icon

That's the premise the redesign was built on: if a user can see specifically which factors are pulling their score down, they have a concrete next action instead of an abstract number to worry about.

NetBramha treats this as a design responsibility, not just a UI problem - the same standard applied to ONE Muthoot's gold loan consolidation, where the goal was giving customers clarity on obligations across products, not just a cleaner-looking dashboard.
