Who this is for
This service is designed for businesses with staff moving from overseas to the UK — relocating employees, international assignees, and returning UK residents who have a gap in their UK credit history. It is not suitable for UK travel or leisure hire; a UK residential address and proof of UK income are required.
What’s required
We can liaise directly with employers to verify employment where helpful, and a home country credit check may form part of the underwriting process. Because these applications typically carry more risk for underwriters, a higher documentation fee and a refundable security deposit commonly apply.
- —Valid passport and driving licence
- —Proof of UK residential address
- —Proof of UK employment or financial backing
- —A UK bank account (including providers such as Revolut or Wise)
