KIS Finance is a trading style of Key Loans and Mortgages Limited registered in England and Wales (Company Number – 06524192)

Who regulates us?

Key Loans and Mortgages Limited is authorised for certain consumer credit activities and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under number 616887.

Declaration

You understand that if your loan is secured then your property is at risk if you do not keep up with the repayments.

Our Privacy Policy

Key Loans and Mortgages Limited will ensure that any information you give is protected. This includes any information given to us about you or anyone associated with you that you or a third party discloses as part of the application process.

Our Data Protection Register number is Z5869666. The data controller is Key Loans and Mortgages Limited.

Consent, information usage and sharing

You must have the consent of all named persons on the application to proceed and in accepting the terms and conditions on their behalf, and by proceeding you are confirming that you give yours and their consent to us, our lenders and associated brokers, to use and store both yours and their data as detailed below:

• To enable us to provide the service you require we will process your information and share it with our lenders.
  
  
• We and our lenders may process a 'soft' credit search, also known as a quotation search, on you and anybody that you share a financial link with. This type of search can only be seen by you and anyone else searched. This may be done to view credit history, verify your identity, helps us select the best lender for you and to prevent financial crime.
  
  
• Should you decide to proceed with your application after we give you a quotation, the chosen lender may perform a 'hard' credit search, also called an application search. The purpose of this is the same as described for a soft search, however in addition to this the credit reference agency will record that this search took place and a 'footprint' will be left on your record plus the record of any other person who was searched. This type of search can be seen by them and other lenders and organisations that make credit searches, and who may use it to make credit decisions, prevent financial crime and to trace debtors. Multiple searches of this kind can adversely affect your credit rating and may make it harder for you to obtain credit.
  
  
• The credit reference agencies may have recorded that you have links with another person, for example a spouse you may have applied for credit in joint names with previously. Any financial links such as this can be seen on the search, and any joint applications you make with KIS Finance will create a link between yours and the other borrower's credit record.
  
  
• Many lenders report to credit reference agencies, usually on a monthly basis, to state whether or not your account is being paid or has fallen into arrears. When a credit search is carried out, the result does not dictate whether or not you can apply for further borrowing, it is a factual report to show when you have made or missed your existing contractual repayments.

Accuracy of loan quotes

Is it safe to apply online and what happens to my information?

• Our online application form is 'https secure' to ensure the security of your information while in transit. Data sent to us via our application form is protected using 2048 bit encryption.
  
  
• When making an application for finance we do not sell or share with any other business or organisation, information sent to us via our website - therefore your name, address, email address, phone numbers, etc. will only be used by ourselves.
  
  Please note: If you decide to proceed and set up or make a full application for a finance facility, you will need to read/consider the individual lender's terms and conditions and what they do with your information.
  
  
• We take all possible precautions to ensure that all information held by ourselves is secure and accurate, if you are aware of anything that is no longer correct please let us know and we can update your information. We will only ask you for information that is needed and relevant to enable us to process your application. If we do need to transfer any details outside of the EEA, you can be assured that this will be done securely and will be dealt with by a trusted third party company. By proceeding with your application, you agree that your information can be transferred, processed and stored in this manner.
  
  
• We will keep your records only for as long as required. The lender may use your information to continually update your credit file through one of the credit reference agencies to show how you maintain repayments throughout the lifetime of the loan.
  
  
• Your information may be used for statistical analysis purposes and can also be provided to other agencies to help them to recover debt and to prevent fraud and money laundering.

Should you want to see your records at any time, you can request a copy by emailing us at info@kisfinance.co.uk

Please note that the way in which the lender may use your information may differ from KIS Finance. The privacy policy of the applicable lender may be detailed as part of the documentation which they will send to you, or will be found in their Terms and Conditions that you can find on their website.

Do we charge a fee for our service?

We do not charge any up-front fees and for regulated secured loans we will cover any costs associated with arranging the finance. On completion of such a loan, the lender will pay us commission. In addition a broker and lender fee may be charged upon completion of a loan. This fee will be reflected in the APR applied to your loan and included in any monthly payment you are quoted.

Please note that for unregulated bridging loans we still do not charge upfront fees, but the applicant will be responsible for associated costs such as valuation fees.

How to make a complaint or give us feedback.

We strive to deliver an excellent standard of service to every customer, however we recognise that sometimes issues do arise and if we fail to meet your expectations for any reason then we do want to hear from you. We would encourage you to contact us by telephone in the first instance to give us the opportunity to rectify the situation as quickly as possible, and hopefully turn your experience with us into a positive one. You may also contact us with a complaint in writing via email or post at our registered address.

The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent service available to consumers who have been unable to reach a solution to a complaint with their financial services provider.
