• Totally Digital: Bullet works as an application on an Android or iOS-based smartphone. It helps in two things:

(a) Avoiding an additional smart card (like a credit card) to be kept and taken care of,

(b) Approval to use credit service is almost instant.

The ultimate motive of going digital is reducing time consumption, and Bullet is taking care of the same.

• Costless: Since this application imbibes a credit card, use is effectively costless. The billing cycle of this app is -15- days, meaning one has to repay the debt in -15- days. You pay on time and there is no interest to be borne. It is free credit until it is paid on time. Further, unlike the majority of the credit cards out there, there are no annual charges (as of now).
• Limit Capping: Since this application is made to cater to daily expenses, the limit is capped to Rs. 10,000/-, which seems satisfactory considering the expenses one can make in a span of -15- days.
