When the unexpected happens and we need a little bit to tide us over, community lenders put your wellbeing first.
Getting a loan isn’t always easy – especially if it’s only for a small amount, or if our credit score isn’t great – but community lenders, also known as Community Development Finance Institutions or CDFIs, help around 100,000 people every year to borrow an average of £500.
On a typical loan, a community lender will save them around £300 compared to a high cost lender, and hundreds more compared to a loan shark.
As responsible lenders, CDFIs are all about helping people and treating them fairly.
