  • Avoiding Scams

    It’s important to be aware of online scams. People might try to make you take out a personal loan and give them the money.

    It’s important to remember that you should only take a loan for yourself, not for others.

    If someone asks you to take a loan to invest in something or give to someone else, it could be a scam. They might be trying to take advantage of you.

    To protect yourself, there are some websites that can help.

  • High Risk Investments & Gambling

    Be careful with risky investments like cryptocurrencies or stocks. They can make you lose your money.

    Our Personal Loans cannot be used for investing in cryptocurrencies, stocks or similar. This is because their value can change a lot, and people often end up losing their money.

    If you’re having trouble with gambling or trading too much, you can get help from GamCare. They give advice and support to people who are struggling with their money.

  • How credit scoring works

    Credit scoring is a way to measure how risky it would be to give someone a loan. We look at the information you tell us, our rules for lending, and information from other places such as Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention agencies.

    Each piece of information gets a score or number. When we add up all the scores, we get a final number. If the number is high enough, we usually say yes to the loan. If it's not high enough, we might say no.

  • Why credit scoring is used

    Credit scoring is important because it helps us be fair and make good choices. It’s very important that you do not borrow more money than you really need or overstretch yourself. Anyone who borrows money might be a risk, so we need to understand how big that risk could be. If we decide giving you a loan is too risky, we won't do it.
