What you should know before you apply

What you'll be asked for

• Your income and employment details
• The account number and sort code of your bank or building society

• An email address
• Your previous address, if you've lived at your current address for less than 3 years

Interest

Interest will be charged throughout the full loan term, including the optional deferred period.

Checking your details

When we check your details with a credit reference agency, a search/enquiry is registered to say that you've applied for credit today. As part of our checks, we link your name with individuals associated with you financially, and any previous names you've provided. The credit reference agencies will record details of your application which will form part of your credit history whether or not you proceed, and if you make several applications for credit within a short period of time, this may temporarily affect your ability to obtain credit.

We'll also check your details with a fraud prevention agency to prevent fraud and money laundering. If you've provided false or inaccurate information (and fraud is identified) we'll pass your details to fraud prevention agencies. If you want, we can explain how your information held by fraud prevention and credit reference agencies may be used.

Credit and interest rates

Credit is subject to status. The rate we offer will depend on our assessment of your circumstances.
