  • Financial risk assessment, money laundering checks, compliance and regulatory reporting and fraud prevention;
  • Help make decisions regarding selection and completion of insurance proposals and;

We may make searches about you at credit reference agencies, who will supply us with credit information, for use in the assessment of credit products and other information, as well as information from the Electoral Register, for the purpose of verifying your identity. The agencies will record details of the search type – credit or identification – whether or not this application proceeds. We may use credit-scoring methods to assess this application and to verify your identity. Credit searches and other information which is provided to us/and or the credit reference agencies, about you, and those with whom you are linked financially, may be used by us and other companies if credit decisions are made about you, or other members of your household. Any of this information may also be used for identification purposes, debt tracing and the prevention of money laundering, as well as the management of your credit account.

To prevent or detect fraud, or to assist in verifying your identity, we may make searches of our records and at fraud prevention agencies, who will supply us with information. We may also pass information to financial and other organisations involved in fraud prevention to protect ourselves, and our customers, from theft and fraud. If you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we may record this. We and any other companies may use this information if decisions are made about you, or others at your address(es), on credit or credit-related services, or motor, household, credit, life or any other insurance facilities. It may also be used for tracing, claims assessment and verifying identity.

  • Disclose information about your joint application and/or anyone else referred to by you
  • Authorise us to search, link and/or record information at credit reference agencies about you and/or anyone else referred to by you.

Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to one or more of your partners. For the purposes of this application, you may be treated as financially linked and your application will be assessed with reference to any ‘associated’ records.

If you decide to proceed with this application, you will be required to sign declarations confirming you accept the use of data as indicated. If you have any questions over the use of your data, please refer to the declaration at the end of this application.
