You’re more than your credit score

Buying a car shouldn't mean wrecking your savings. Yet for newcomers who are shut out from car finance options in the UK, just because they haven’t borrowed any money yet, that's often exactly what happens.

And we don't think that's fair.

We’ve already spent years helping UK newcomers access fairly-priced car insurance. Now we’re using that experience to help us look past what’s on paper – so we can often say yes where others say no.

Representative example

Borrowing £12,500 over 60 months with no deposit at a fixed rate of 23.9% per annum, representative 23.9% APR, the monthly repayment would be £372.10. The total amount payable would be £22,546.20, which includes the £312 set-up fee and a £24 option-to-purchase fee.

Why Marshmallow car finance


Most lenders won't approve UK newcomers.

But we're not most lenders.

We look beyond your credit score

Unlike traditional car finance providers, we don’t let a lack of UK credit history get in the way of your loan. Instead, we ask smarter questions that help us see the full picture.

Build your financial footprint

Accessing our car finance and making regular, monthly payments will help improve your UK credit score over time.

Goodbye paperwork

Send us your details online to help us approve your loan. No extra visits to the dealership. No messy paperwork.

Impact-free application

Applying for a car finance loan with us won’t impact your current credit score, even if you’re unsuccessful.

How does car finance work?
We offer Hire Purchase agreements. This is the most common form of car finance in the UK.
1
You borrow money to buy a car.

You’ll agree to an interest rate, a monthly amount and a fixed term for paying back the loan.

2
Drive away. Pay back over time.

During this time we are the legal owners of your car.

3
You own when the loan is paid.

The car is now yours to do whatever you want with it. Keep it, sell it, give it racer stripes – it’s up to you.
