The loans were disbursed to around 3500 retailers associated with PayWorld.

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal are among the states where most of the loans were disbursed.

PayWorld noted that these small merchants find it difficult to secure loans from banks owing to a lack of collateral.
