HDFC Bank today launched its Digital Loans against Mutual Funds (LAMF) in partnership with transfer agent CAMS. The bank customers can now pledge mutual fund assets online and get overdraft limit in under 3 minutes. They can also avail of this product through the HDFC Bank website in three easy steps, said the bank in a press release.

With this product, customers can leverage their mutual fund (MFs) portfolio to avail funds for any contingencies or emergencies without liquidating their investments or stopping their regular investment plans/SIPs. The facility is available for resident Indians and for portfolios that are individual holdings.

The Bank has collaborated with CAMS to create a seamless customer experience. It is open to all HDFC Bank customers holding assets in at least one of the ten mutual fund houses registered with the CAMS. These ten fund houses together constitute about 60% of the total assets under management of the industry.
