TitleWhat is a soft search?
Answer

At BetterBorrow we only use soft searches, also known as quotation searches, to work out whether you’re approved for our loans.

Soft searches are different from credit application searches, which happen when you actually apply for a product. Too many credit application searches in a short space of time can damage your credit score.

A soft search, on the other hand, will let you know whether you’re eligible for the loan before you apply. It will show on your credit file but other lenders can't see it when you apply for credit. We’re taking the guesswork out of applying for credit and protecting your score. 

We provide BetterBorrow loans through popular comparison websites, such as ClearScore, MoneySuperMarket.com and Experian

To check your eligibility with no impact on your credit score, simply head over to your preferred application partner. There you’ll see all of the loans from across the market that you’re eligible for and that are best suited to your personal needs.
