We’re triple nominees for the 2016 Moneywise Customer Service Awards!
We’re delighted to reveal that, following on from our strong showing last year, we’ve been shortlisted in no fewer than THREE categories for the 2016 Moneywise Customer Service Awards, which will be taking place on the 9th of June.
Now in their eighth year, these Awards are largely considered to be the Oscars in the field of financial services providers, and are commonly described as ‘the authoritative stamp of approval by the UK consumer’. This year, more than 24,000 Moneywise readers and customers of various banks, insurance companies and other financial services platforms voted across 16 different categories via a survey, with detailed feedback on their experiences in relation to the quality of customer service provided by the hundreds of firms under consideration. And of the 64 business to make the different shortlists as a result of these votes, Lending Works was one of just 27 to be nominated across multiple categories. These are:
- Most Trusted Loan Provider
- Best Peer-to-Peer Platform for Savers
- Most Trusted Peer-to-Peer Platform (one of just three nominees)
You can read more on these results by clicking here, but, suffice it to say, this represents a tremendous milestone for us as a company, and such a resounding vote of confidence from our customers and members of the public is hugely rewarding.
It also could result in a significant step up from last year, when we scooped the ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Most Trusted Personal Loan Provider category at the 2015 edition of the Awards. While this was an achievement we understandably took great pride in at the time, we’re confident that our nomination in three different categories will now put us in pole position to go one better this year.
Our founder and CEO Nick Harding had this to say on the results:
“To simply be nominated for Awards held in such esteem as these is a great honour, but to have been shortlisted in three categories is an achievement above and beyond the already-high expectations we set for ourselves as a company. As a growing and ambitious platform, such recognition is a considerable feather in our cap, and profound reward for our dedicated team who place such great emphasis on putting the customer first.
“Hopefully we’ll be able to make the step up from last year and scoop the grand prize in at least one of these categories, but regardless of the final results in June, these nominations will inspire us to do even better things, and further enhance our customer experience.”

With the retail sector enduring its fair share of challenges, companies are looking at new ways to attract customers, and drive conversion. In an overcrowded, dog-eat-dog marketplace, with behemoths such as Amazon flexing their muscle, it’s easier said than done.
On 4 June 2019, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released its new regulatory framework for peer-to-peer lending (P2P); a Policy Statement known as PS19/14. As you might imagine, it's a document which, following a three-month consultation, is a hefty read of no fewer than 102 pages.
When it comes to investing, there are numerous questions that need to be asked, and lots of things which need to be properly understood before committing your hard-earned money

In a difficult climate, customer acquisition and lead generation present stern challenges for UK retailers, and a great deal of marketing spend invariably gets directed towards getting feet through the door.
There is a variety of literature and research illustrating the importance of building brand loyalty, albeit with some degree of variance.
Over the last decade, there can be little dispute that the reputation of mainstream banks – and particularly the so-called ‘Big Four’ (HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and RBS) – is at its lowest ebb.
The idea of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a simple one; you lend money to those who wish to borrow, with a view to receiving a great return for doing so.
The peer-to-peer (P2P) lending industry is now regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The regulatory framework has been designed to protect customers and promote effective competition.

Last week we took stock of the labour market, with the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data showing that the tide may be beginning to turn on Britain's so-called 'jobs miracle'. Unemployment ticked up to 3.9 per cent for June to August (an increase of 0.1 per cent), with the number of people in work falling by 56,000.
Whenever discussion turns to Britain’s misfiring property market, the words ‘stamp duty’ are seldom far away. Indeed, over the past two decades, it’s been something of a political football – one which has had a profound impact on both housing transactions, and the coffers at the Treasury.
In recent months, it’s been interesting to observe the reception to Greta Thunberg, the 16-year old climate change activist who has been afforded some high-profile forums. The impassioned viewpoints she has shared have earned her legions of fans, albeit no shortage of detractors too. In particular, a speech at the United Nations climate change summit stirred fractious debate.
