Credit and Identity Checks

In some cases, we or our partner lenders may carry out credit or identity checks to assess eligibility for a loan.
These checks may involve third-party credit reference agencies.
Such searches will leave either a soft footprint (for quotation purposes) or a hard footprint (if you proceed with an application) on your credit file.

If a lender performs these checks, they will have their own privacy policy explaining how they process your information.
