Our mission

We’re built on our purpose. It’s central to our brand, articulated by our people and mutually reinforced by our culture. It’s the foundation of everything we do — because millions of people worldwide are still excluded from accessing fair and affordable credit as they’re invisible to the financial system. We want to change this. So, it is our mission to improve financial inclusion, because access to credit opens up opportunities for people to transform their lives. 

Our purpose in action

For consumers

We help individuals better understand their financial position, take control of their finances and manage their financial health. 

For businesses

We help businesses to make faster, smarter decisions, lend responsibly, more fairly and quickly while reducing risk and offering a better customer experience. 

For communities

We use data to help the most vulnerable in society access credit, improve financial literacy and confidence, and support economic growth. 

For our people

We create a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.

For consumers

We help individuals better understand their financial position, take control of their finances and manage their financial health. By putting people in control of their financial wellbeing, we’re helping them access, understand and take control of their credit so they can use it to achieve their financial goals. Including helping millions of people save money. We’re helping people protect themselves from identity theft and fraud, negotiate debt and improve their financial knowledge.

For businesses

We help businesses understand their customers and make faster, smarter decisions. We do this by transforming data into information and by deploying advanced technologies, platforms and analytics that enable them to lend responsibly, more fairly and quickly to people and businesses. We help them to minimise the risk of fraud, offer a better customer experience, identify new business opportunities, better understand their markets and reduce costs.

Millions of people around the world are excluded from basic financial services. Many of whom are the most vunlerable in society. We help them gain access to credit and improve their financial wellbeing, enabling families to transform their lives, whether in home buying, healthcare, education or entrepreneurship, and supporting economic growth. We focus on improving financial literacy and confidence, helping people manage their financial lives, and preventing fraud and identity theft.
