The Credit Reference Agencies will place a search footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders. They will supply public information (e.g. information held on the electoral register) as well as shared credit and fraud prevention information. The Fraud Prevention Agencies will use your personal information to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity.

  • If you advise us of a director, a spouse or a financial associate, we / our third-party providers will link your records together.

We do this as we have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering.
