About the UK non-standard credit market

consists of both secured and unsecured lending and is estimated to
comprise around 10 million consumers (3) and total loan receivables
of GBP10.7bn (4) .
Non-standard credit is the provision of secured and unsecured
credit to consumers other than through mainstream lenders. Lenders
providing non-standard credit principally lend on an unsecured
basis and the market is characterised by high frequency borrowing.
Approximately 2 million people move annually between standard and
non-standard markets (4) .
Since February 2014, unsecured personal lending has grown from
GBP161 billion to GBP216 billion in February 2019 (5) .
