Fake Equitas Small Finance Bank calls and apps

Fake Equitas apps, vehicle loan file charges and UPI dues threats on calls using the Equitas Small Finance Bank name.

A small finance bank from Chennai offering savings accounts, deposits and loans, including vehicle and business loans. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Equitas Small Finance Bank on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake Equitas Small Finance Bank calls and apps

Fake Equitas app sent as a file in WhatsApp
Caller says you qualify for an Equitas vehicle loan and asks for a file charge
Agent asks you to read out the OTP to 'confirm' a deposit renewal
Caller threatens that unpaid dues will be reported unless you pay on a given UPI ID

How to verify it yourself

Use the Equitas app from the official store and see your dues and deposit status there. Type the Equitas Small Finance Bank website yourself. A vehicle loan is arranged against documents at a branch or dealership, and payments go to the bank's account in the agreement, not a personal UPI ID. A reversal is credited without you giving a code. Threats to report dues should be taken to your branch with your loan papers.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from Equitas Small Finance Bank. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Equitas Small Finance Bank through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Equitas Small Finance Bank ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
