What credit score do you use to decide if I'm eligible for a reward? We review your eligibility for a reward based on a credit score provided by Equifax.
Why is my Reward Loan score different than my other credit score I can see? We review your eligibility for a reward based on a credit score provided by Equifax. This score is called a ‘management score’. It’s different from the score you’ll see on your credit reports which show you how likely you are to get accepted for credit. It’s shared with us from Equifax so that we can measure your score movement over time. We compare this score against a score taken directly from Equifax on the day that you apply for our loan.
We review your eligibility for a reward every three months and for every 25 points that your credit score increases, we'll automatically reduce your loan rate by 2%, as long as you're up to date with your repayments.
What proof of identity will I need to use? We don’t require any documentation from you online. As part of your soft search we will verify your identity and if we have any further questions or cannot match your information online, one of our expert team will call you directly.
Will my rate go back up on my Reward Loan, if my credit score decreases?
How do I find out my credit score? There are three Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) in the UK - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. All three are dedicated to collecting information on your financial behaviour and how it has impacted your score. CRAs must share your credit report with you if you request it. It’s good practice to look at all of your credit scores on a regular basis so you can keep an eye on any changes. They all have different scores but this is completely normal. You can get to know your credit score better with free credit reports at ClearScore, Intuit Credit Karma and Experian.

Our loans are 25.7% APR Representative.
Why haven't I earned a reward? This could be down to a number of reasons. We review your eligibility for a reward based on a credit score provided by Equifax. This score is called a ‘management score’. It’s different from the score you’ll see on your credit reports which show you how likely you are to get accepted for credit. It’s shared with us from Equifax so that we can measure your score movement over time. We compare this score against a score taken directly from Equifax on the day that you apply for our loan. We use this score to review your eligibility for a reward every three months. Your score will need to be at least 25 points higher in order to earn a reward and you'll need to be up to date with your loan repayments. Your loan rate can reduce to 9.9%, so if your loan is at 9.9% or below, you won't be able to earn any more rewards.
Why have you done a credit search on me?
If you've applied for a loan with us we'll do a soft search, also known as a quotation search, to work out whether you’re approved for our loan. Only you will be able to see this on your credit report.
If you believe that you haven't applied for a loan, on our website or through a comparison site, please get in touch with us and we'll take a look for you.
What is the Reward Loan and how does it work? The LiveLend Reward Loan is a loan that rewards you for improvements in your credit score. When your credit score goes up, the interest rate you’ll be charged will go down.
We'll look at your credit score every three months and if your credit score has gone up by 25 points, we'll automatically reduce your loan rate. Don't worry, this check won't affect your credit score. For every 25 points that your credit score increases, we'll reduce your loan rate by 2%, as long as you're up to date with your repayments.
We'll reduce your loan rate straight away and reduce your monthly repayments, so your loan will cost you less! Your loan rate can reduce to 9.9%. We'll never put your rate back up, even if your score gets worse.
The credit score we use to review your eligibility for rewards is taken directly from Equifax on the day that you apply for our loan. We’ll always use this score for your Reward Loan.
The Reward Loan is available exclusively through popular comparison websites such as ClearScore, MoneySuperMarket.com and Experian.
To check your eligibility with no impact on your credit score, simply head over to your preferred financial services comparison provider. There you’ll see all of the loans from across the market that you’re eligible for and that are best suited to your personal needs.
Our loan APRs (Annual Percentage Rates) start at 10.9% to 39.9%.
Representative Example: 25.7% APR Representative based on a loan of £5,000, repayable over 42 months at an interest of 25.7% pa (fixed). Monthly repayment of £174.65. Total amount payable £7,335.28. Our representative APR applies to loans from £1,000 to £12,000, for terms of 12-60 months.
Our loans are 25.7% APR Representative.
What do you mean by no credit footprint? At LiveLend we only use soft searches, also known as quotation searches, to work out whether you’re approved for our loans. Soft searches are different from credit application searches, which happen when you actually apply for a product. Too many credit application searches in a short space of time can damage your credit score.
A soft search, on the other hand, will let you know whether you’re eligible for the loan before you apply. That means we’re taking the guesswork out of applying for credit and protecting your score.
You can access LiveLend loans through popular comparison websites, such as ClearScore , MoneySuperMarket.com and Experian .
To check your eligibility with no impact on your credit score, simply head over to your preferred application partner. There you’ll see all of the loans from across the market that you’re eligible for and that are best suited to your personal needs.
Can I earn more than one reward every 3 months, on my Reward Loan? Yes, we don't limit the number of rewards you can get at each review period. So, if your credit score increases by 100 points, we'll reduce your loan rate by 8%. You can continue to earn rewards every three months, as long as you're up to date with repayments, if your score has increased by 25 points or more.
Your loan rate can reduce all the way down to 9.9% so if your loan rate is 9.9%, you won’t be able to earn a reward.
Our loan APRs (Annual Percentage Rates) start at 10.9% to 39.9%.
Representative Example: 25.7% APR Representative based on a loan of £5,000, repayable over 42 months at an interest of 25.7% pa (fixed). Monthly repayment of £174.65. Total amount payable £7,335.28. Our representative APR applies to loans from £1,000 to £12,000, for terms of 12-60 months.
How do you decide what rate to charge me? We think representative rates are confusing. So, when we give you your quote, we’ll also give you your real rate. That way, you’ll know exactly how much your loan will cost. This is a rate individual to you, worked out based on the information you provide us with as part of your application, any information we might already know about you, and the information provided to us by our Credit Reference Agency.
I don't have a perfect credit rating, can I take a loan with you? Yes, at LiveLend, we understand that people miss payments from time to time, but we also want to make sure you can afford to repay the loan. So, we use lots of data to help us make our lending decision, and we’ll pick up the phone for a chat if we have any questions.
If I miss a payment, will you put my loan rate back up on my Reward Loan? No, once your loan rate has been reduced, we’ll never put your rate back up. You can't earn further rewards whilst you're behind on your payments, but as soon as you’re up to date with your payments you’ll be able to reduce your rate again. Once you’re back on top with your repayments, we’ll review your credit score in the usual way every three months and you’ll have the opportunity to earn more rewards.
What is a Credit Reference Agency? A Credit Reference Agency is an independent organisation that holds information about consumers or businesses (or both), to help banks and financial institutions decide whether to give them credit. We use a Credit Reference Agency, along with the information you tell us and any information we might already know about you, to help us make our lending decision.
Can I decide what date of the month the payments leave my account? When you apply for your loan, you can choose the date you'd like your payments to be taken from your account. We recommend you pick a date close to the day you get paid as most of our customers find this easier to manage. Depending what date you pick, your loan might start the following month.
What fraud prevention agencies do you use? We have systems that protect our customers and ourselves against fraud and other crime. We will share your personal information from your application with fraud prevention agencies. If you provide false or inaccurate information and fraud is identified, details of this fraud will be passed to these agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when: At LiveLend we use the following fraud prevention agencies:
When will my reward be applied to my Reward Loan? Every three months, we'll do a reward review to see if you've qualified for a reward. If you have qualified for a reward, we'll put your rate down straight away. We'll do this automatically, so there's no need for you to do anything. We'll apply your reduced loan rate to your next loan repayment. This means your monthly repayment will be less. We'll send you an email to let you know how much your loan rate is reducing by.
Will you be doing a credit check on me? At LiveLend we only use soft searches, also known as quotation searches, to work out whether you’re approved for our loans. Soft searches are different from credit application searches, which happen when you actually apply for a product. Too many credit application searches in a short space of time can damage your credit score. A soft search, on the other hand, will let you know whether you’re eligible for the loan before you apply.

Why can't you verify my bank details? As a 100% digital bank, we use online electronic tools to verify your details. You have a total of three attempts to submit your bank details. If we haven't been able to match your details during your first attempt, you can try entering a different bank account as long as it fits the criteria above. Our digital approach allows our customers to manage their loan completely online wherever they are but it also means we keep costs low so that we can continue to offer great rates. This does mean, however, that some customers won’t be able to take a loan with us, depending on who they bank with, as we mention above.
When sharing your bank details during your loan application, it's important you check that:
If we’re still unable to verify your details, it may be that your bank account is one that hasn’t adapted to the industry standard, that came into effect in 1998, where established banks share useful information directly with credit reference agencies (CRAs) and online financial services like ourselves. Some of the accounts that fit this criteria are listed below.
Unfortunately, if we can’t match your account then you won’t be able to take a loan with us right now. We welcome more support from established banks to increase the number of accounts they share with us. Until then, we’re working hard to welcome even more customers to LiveLend.

Get in touch if you'd like to speak to us about this.
How do I complain? If you have a complaint we want to hear it, so please get in touch. We’ll review your feedback and come back to you as soon as possible.
If you’re not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Please note that the FOS won’t look at your complaint until it has been raised with LiveLend and we’ve been given a reasonable time to respond.
Can I pause my application and come back to it? No, not yet, but we know you're busy, so you can get your quote in just two minutes via your preferred financial services comparison provider.
Your quote will let you know whether you can take out our loan, and we’ll also give you your real rate. That way, you’ll know exactly how much your loan will cost. The rest of the application will take just another three minutes and we’ll transfer your funds immediately so your money is in your account in under four hours.
Our loans are 25.7% APR Representative.
What can I include within my income? Your main source of income is usually your salary. You can tell us what this is, either monthly or annually and the amount, either before or after tax. Most people select monthly after tax as this is the actual amount you get paid every month. You can also include income from additional jobs, income from savings or investments, any permanent benefits that you receive, and any regular bonuses. However, you should only include regular income and you should be honest about how much you receive, as we will look to confirm this through our soft search.
When will my first payment be taken? When you apply for your loan, you can choose the date you’d like your payments to be taken from your account. We recommend you pick a date close to the day you get paid as most of our customers find this easier to manage. Depending what date you pick, your loan repayments may start the following month.
If you’ve taken a loan and forgotten what date you selected, you can log in and click Overview. Your repayment date and history will be available at the bottom of the page under Your Payments. You can also find these details in your loan documents in Messages.
