What evidence do l need to provide?
Loan applications will be considered by a loan officer. In deciding whether or not to provide a loan we will take into account your record of savings with the credit union and any previous loan repayments, as well as your ability to repay.
We may therefore ask you to provide evidence of your financial situation which enables us to make a detailed analysis of your income and expenditure. The quickest and easiest way to do this is to submit your bank statements to us for online review using one of our trusted and regulated partners. Open banking API's are made available by your bank/building society under the new open banking regulations. Open banking is regulated, monitored and built on the principles of GDPR. Only partners who are licensed and authorised by the FCA are permitted to access these API's.
If you would like us to use a partner's income as part of your loan application we would need the same information from them.
Providing the correct information will result in a quicker turnaround of your application.
