How to spot a fake firm using the Credicorp name

Because "Credicorp" is used by genuine, unconnected companies in other countries, and because finance names are attractive to fraudsters, it pays to confirm you are dealing with the real UK Credicorp before you share information or make a payment.

Quick checks

  • Our website is credicorp.co.uk. Be wary of look-alike domains with extra words, different endings, or odd spellings.
  • We lend only to UK limited companies and LLPs for business purposes. Anyone offering you a personal loan, a "sole trader loan," or upfront "release fees" is not us.
  • We do not take personal guarantees from directors. A request for one is a red flag.
  • We will never ask you to move money to a "safe account" or pay a fee to receive your funds.

If you are contacted out of the blue

Treat unexpected calls, texts, or emails with caution, especially if they pressure you to act fast. Do not click links in unsolicited messages. Instead, reach us through the contact details on our official website and confirm before doing anything.

What to do if you suspect a scam

  • Stop and do not send money or share login or card details.
  • Contact our support team to verify whether a message genuinely came from us.
  • If you have lost money or shared details, report it to your bank and to Action Fraud.

We would always rather you pause and check than risk it. We will never penalise you for confirming.
