Press Releases

Premium Credit

As the FCA sends out invoices to regulated firms requesting payment of annual fees, Premium Credit is offering a finance facility so recipients can spread the cost over convenient monthly repayments, helping firms preserve cash flow.

Paying the cost of FCA fees via an instalment facility allows regulated firms to spend precious cash reserves in other business critical areas with repayments typically made over 10 months rather than in one lump sum.

Premium Credit provided this financing option to over 2,000 regulated businesses last year and expects ongoing demand as firms look to preserve cash flow during difficult trading conditions.

“Our credit facility remains a cost-competitive and convenient means for regulated businesses to pay their FCA fees over monthly instalments. At a time when finances are under considerable pressure it can be a strong alternative compared to other forms of credit.”

Mr Stewart adds: “It’s a simple digital application process and with years of significant investment in technology, we ensure the whole customer journey is a smooth, seamless process – we as the lender undertake the bulk of the administration.”

Premium Credit advises that it’s important to act in a timely way, so firms have the opportunity to consider the best payment option to pay their FCA fees and avoid a financial penalty for any late response.
