QuidMarket And The Financial Conduct Authority

The short-term credit industry has gone through many changes. In 2014 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) took over the regulation of companies offering short-term high-cost credit bringing the industry in line with mainstream lenders and banks. A price cap was introduced in 2015:

  • Interest and fees charged must not exceed 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.
  • Default fees must not exceed £15.
  • Borrowers must never pay more in fees and interest than 100% of the amount borrowed.

Short term loan and payday loan providers had to apply for authorisation from the FCA showing their policies and working practices were within the rules and guidelines set out by them. A large number of companies in the short term loan and payday loan sector did not meet the criteria and either had to prove they had implemented the necessary changes to their policies and working practices or cease trading.

Here at QuidMarket, we were authorised by the FCA at the first application – a very proud day for us all. This approval from the FCA underlines our commitment to our customers and evidences that we are a reputable, transparent and honest lender.

QuidMarket trades under FCA reference number 677995 – you can view the FCA Register on their website.

QuidMarket FAQs

One of the benefits of borrowing from us is that we have transparent pricing. There are no hidden admin charges or transfer fees, giving borrowers peace of mind that what they see is what they pay.

This means that borrowers can budget effectively and plan for loan repayments without worrying about any unexpected charges. Additionally, once a customer has repaid their initial loan, they may be eligible to apply for an instalment loan again in future using our Existing Customer Area. This makes the process of obtaining a short term loan even more convenient for those who require it.

Short term loans provide borrowers with the option to borrow a specific amount of money and pay it back over a period of 3 to 6 months. This repayment structure enables borrowers to choose flexible and affordable repayments that suit their budget.

These loans are ideal for resolving emergencies and addressing short-term financial issues. It can be especially useful when you require a smaller loan amount and prefer to spread the cost of repayment over several instalments instead of settling the entire balance on your next salary date. This can help alleviate the financial strain and provide much-needed breathing room during challenging times.

QuidMarket does not offer an option to top-up a current loan. You must complete repaying your current loan before you can re-apply if you feel you need a bit of extra cash to help out with any unexpected expenses. You can view the status of your current loan with us in our Existing Customer Area (ECA).

Repeat loan applications are much faster for returning customers. Provided you meet our re-lending criteria and nothing has changed in your financial circumstances, returning customers could even be eligible for a higher amount. Returning customers please note: All loan decisions are dependent on your personal situation and affordability checks. We always advise customers to only borrow what they need and ensure the monthly repayments are affordable. At QuidMarket we do run credit checks, but we do not solely rely on these to make our lending decision for your loan, so even if you have poor credit, our loans may still be available to you.

Short term instalment loans or payday loans are an expensive way to borrow. There may be more suitable and cheaper alternatives available. If you feel you are experiencing long-term financial difficulties, then please visit Money Helper.

To be eligible to apply for our short term loans here at QuidMarket, you must:

  • Be between the ages of 23 and 65
  • Be a resident of the United Kingdom
  • Have a valid mobile number to receive text messages
  • Possess a current UK bank account with a valid debit card
  • Be employed and receive a take-home salary of at least £1,250 per month

If you meet this criteria, you can apply online today. We only ask for essential information that we require to process your loan application. To start your application for a short-term instalment loan, simply click Apply Now.

A short term instalment loan is designed to help you through short term financial issues – therefore we only charge interest daily and for the number of days you have the credit from us. If you want to repay all or part of your loan early, then get in touch with our friendly Customer Care team who will work out the exact amount for you to pay back. There are no early settlement fees or admin fees whatsoever – we are here to help rather than seeking to profit from our customers. Paying your loan back early will not affect your relationship with us or your credit file – it will just save you some money. Neither will it affect your credit score.
