Five Lending Apps To Rescue When You Switch Jobs

In Indian corporate culture, it is common for an employer to hold back a month’s salary, or sometimes more, when an employee tenders his or her resignation. This salary is paid to the employee during the full and final settlement, which could take up to two-three months from the date of resignation, and sometimes more depending on the company’s policy. And since the new employer also pays the first salary after completion of one month in service, there is always a transition period – comprising of notice period in the former employer and first month in the new one – where one often struggles to make ends meet.

In such a scenario, taking a short term loan may come to the rescue. And with several online lending platforms cropping one, one can avail a short-term loan with no hassle at all. Here are some of the online lending platforms which could make your life between jobs completely hassle-free.
