Do you have to pay us for our service, or do we receive any commission?

You do not have to pay us 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 be typically based on a fixed percentage of the amount borrowed. This percentage may vary according to differing factors; for example, the amount of credit; the age or type of vehicle; the type of finance product; or the funder's assessment of the risk of lending.

For your re-assurance, we are not able to change the interest 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
