We are all leading lives that are hectic and fast-paced to say the least. There are sudden pressures that come on which prompt us to apply for loans to get things done. Often the messiest and sometimes the toughest part of applying for and getting a loan is the paperwork and the need to physically visit a bank or a money lender. MoneyTap is a startup that is changing this and giving you a personal credit line directly from your phone
