Announcement
In light of the latest lockdown restrictions in England, we’ve updated our lending policy to ensure that we continue to lend responsibly during this period. These changes are effective as of 6 November for all new applications received from this date.
Employed applicants who are currently furloughed
- For employed applicants who are currently furloughed, the furlough
income cannot be taken into consideration for affordability. When
submitting a DIP please input the furlough income as £1 - For applicants impacted, we can still consider additional non-furlough
income to support affordability - We will also still consider joint applications where the non-furloughed
applicant’s income can support affordability of the loan in full
Self-employed
- For self-employed applicants whose business aren’t currently trading, we are unable to use income for affordability
- When submitting a DIP please input net profit for last 2 years a £1. For
Limited companies please input remuneration and dividends as £1 - For applicants impacted, we can still consider additional non
self-employed income to support affordability - We will also still consider joint applications where the other applicant’s
income can support affordability of the loan in full - For businesses who remain open and trading, our existing approach which requires the latest 3 months business bank statements are required to
support the assessment of current trading levels
For all current pipeline
Given the new lockdown measures we may ask for an update from you around any impacts to customer circumstances that may affect their ability to afford the loan. If any of your clients have been affected since you submitted the application we would encourage you to let us know as soon as possible
Our criteria will continue to be reviewed throughout this period and any amendments will be communicated.
