New research out today shows that regulation of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) might mean 1 in 4 customers lose access. Our CEO reacts in The Sun: “It’s clear that regulation of BNPL is needed... but I worry that the new rules may cause more harm than good.” www.thesun.co.uk/money/381262...

Many of our customers access benefits; it's the only way of getting by. But we frequently hear from them that the benefits system is hard to navigate and makes them feel stigmatised. Our CEO was pleased to attend the launch of 'From stigma to support', an important new report by Turn2us. (1/2)
Three people in smart attire pose in front of a background of Turn2us logos, holding the 'From stigma to support' report or placards relating to it. They are Simon Dukes, Fair for You CEO; Jane van Zyl, CEO of the charity Working Families; and Thomas Lawson, CEO of Turn2us.

HM Treasury has published a new Financial Inclusion Strategy. While Fair for You and the Fair Credit Charity welcome the new strategy, we are concerned that it risks overlooking the role of CDFIs. (1/3) #FinancialInclusion

⭐ In the last 30 days, 45 of 49 reviews we've received on Trustpilot have been five stars out of five. A lot of those reviews (like Tony's, see pic 👇) mention flexibility. With our loans, you can choose a repayment schedule that works for you, or overpay (with no penalty) to reduce total interest.
"The application process is simple... you can choose your payment schedule... I would rate Fair For You excellent and would highly recommend it to anyone."

You may have seen news today about the Government moving forward on its plans to regulate #BuyNowPayLater (#BNPL) credit. We know that many consumers like BNPL, but it doesn't work well for everyone or in all circumstances, and it's important that there is a broad range of credit options available.
"Many consumers find BNPL useful, but for our customers the way it is structured and the inflexibility over repayments are often unhelpful and can lead them into real difficulty if they miss a payment.”
Simon Dukes, CEO, Fair for You.

Purpose graphic with white text, and Fair for You logo (the words 'Fair' and 'You' purple, while 'for' is in green)."It's certainly vital that BNPL is regulated appropriately to prevent irresponsible lending, but it's also very important that there are a range of properly regulated, affordable options for all those needing to access credit.”
