Do you have to pay for our service or do we receive any commission?
You do not have to pay for our service.
But a funder or broker we work with may pay us for introducing you to them. Different funders/brokers may pay us different amounts but it will typically be based on a fixed percentage of the amount borrowed. This percentage may vary according to different factors, for example, the amount of credit; the age or type of vehicle;the type of finance product;or the funders assessment of the risk of lending. Special offers may also be available from time to time for a limited duration. These may be provided by one or more of our funders or brokers and we may receive different commission amounts for introductions made during the offer period. For your reassurance, we are not able to change the rate you pay in order to receive more commission from a particular broker or funder. Although rates and commissions may vary between our finance partners, our aim is always to secure finance from them which is appropriate to your circumstances and at the lowest interest rate available.
If we are successful in obtaining an offer of finance for you and you would like to know the amount (or likely amount) we would receive if you decided to go ahead with the agreement and how that amount has been calculated, please contact us using the details above
