Darren Cairns, Chief Marketing Officer, commented:

“As firm believers in responsible lending, we are delighted to announce the launch of Responsibleborrowing.com. A large percentage of our customers cannot access credit through the mainstream banks because their credit scores are too low – this is not right or fair. Access to credit can unlock possibilities, provide opportunities and solve short term problems, helping people move on with their lives. 4finance offers responsible financing to fill this credit gap and we are investing resources in helping consumers to understand the real issues and costs of borrowing. We want our customers to be able to pay back their loans quickly, improve their credit positions and use our services again should the need arise. We want to help build personal financial awareness today that will help our customers tomorrow and in the years to come.”
