Guide to Becoming a DSA Agent

 DSA or Direct Selling Agent is a person who works on behalf of banks and non-banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). 

A Direct Selling Agent connects loan-seeking customers to banks and NBFCs. Once they find leads, they ensure the customer of a smooth process; educate them about the loan interest rates and repayment process. Once the customer finds a good deal, the DSA directs them to the concerned bank or NBFC. 

What does a DSA get in return? DSA works on commission. This payout varies depending on the type of loan granted and the loan amount.
