Unified Lending Interface, commonly referred to as ULI, is an Indian digital lending interface.[1] ULI was introduced by Reserve Bank of India to speed up the process of giving loans. It facilitates the flow of digital information, such as land records from various states, directly to lenders.[2] It integrates an open architecture with open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), allowing various financial institutions to connect in a ‘plug and play’ model.[3][4][5]
