How the equb works
Vehicle financing

Drive it today. Pay it off month by month.

Santim finances a bajaj, a motorbike or a car for members with a savings record. The vehicle works for you while you repay — a fair cooperative rate, no middlemen.

Bajaj & motorbikes

Start a transport income with a small deposit and monthly payments.

Clear monthly plan

You see every payment and date in the app before you sign.

Your savings as security

Your savings, shares and guarantors back the loan — the vehicle stays with you.
