Why this matters for you as a borrower
CreditBar's NCR licence caps interest, initiation and service fees at NCA limits and requires affordability checks before approval — a legal safeguard. Any lender that skips affordability, withholds a pre-agreement quotation or asks for upfront payment is a red flag.
