Lendology Recognised for National Accreditation for Fighting Loan Sharks! 

May 13 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Lendology CIC has been honoured for its outstanding work in combating loan sharks and promoting financial empowerment. 

Based outside Taunton, Lendology CIC is a social enterprise SME operating across the UK. Our mission is to make homes safer, warmer, and more sustainable while fighting against illegal money lending. 

Over the past two decades, we’ve lent over £23million in local council capital, empowering homeowners to invest in home safety, security, and energy efficiency. From retrofitting to disability adaptations, we offer a wide array of solutions to meet our customers’ needs. 

One of our key initiatives has been partnering with the England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) to educate communities about the dangers of loan sharks. This collaboration has earned us the prestigious Partner Recognition accreditation from the IMLT. 

Emma Lower, CEO Lendology, said:   

“Celebrating this recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to safeguarding all individuals from the scourge of loan sharks. At Lendology, we stand firm in our dedication to providing vital financial solutions and empowering homeowners. This partnership underscores the importance of our mission and the tireless efforts of our team. As we continue to champion financial inclusion and combat illegal money lending, we remain steadfast in our resolve to serve as a beacon of support for homeowners across the UK.”  

Tony Quigley, Head of England Illegal Money Lending Team, said:  

“We would like to congratulate Lendology on their partner recognition award and thank them for their outstanding efforts tackling loan sharks.  

Loan sharks are criminals that prey on the most vulnerable people in our communities. They trap their victims into spiralling debt and will often use intimidation and violence.  

We will not tolerate illegal money lending and would urge anyone with information about this crime to report it as soon as possible.”
