We provide finance through your insurance broker so that you don't have to pay for your insurance premium in one go.

By spreading the cost of your insurance premium, choosing the payment date that best suits you, and budgeting for your fixed monthly repayment, it helps you manage your money more easily.

When you set up your insurance policy your insurance broker would have discussed you would like to pay your premium, e.g. in full or monthly by Direct Debit using Close Brothers Premium Finance.

We pay your insurance broker the full cost of your insurance policy. You then pay us back the cost of your insurance policy plus interest and charges in regular instalments by Direct Debit. Our name appears on your bank statement when we take these monthly instalments.

We will only debit a bank account that has been provided to us by an insurance broker or existing customer for a finance agreement that has been set up with us.

If you believe we have debited your bank account incorrectly, get in touch using the details below.

Please take time to read everything carefully. Please check all the details – including your Direct Debit details – are correct, and let us know if there are any changes. If you haven’t signed a credit agreement yet there will be two copies enclosed in your Welcome Pack.  Please sign and return one of them to us and keep the other one for your records.

We can change your Direct Debit payment date but the amount of days you can change your instalment dates by will depend on your insurance broker. Any changes must be made three or more working days beforehand. There may be a charge for this service.

If you want to cancel your finance agreement and / or your insurance policy you should first read the information provided in the welcome pack we sent you when you first took out the agreement. This explains your right to withdraw from or cancel your agreement. You should then speak to your insurance broker to arrange an alternative method of financing your insurance policy if you want the policy to continue. You can also call us using the details below if you have any questions.

We collect monthly instalments by Direct Debit. You will either complete a Direct Debit mandate or give your bank details to your insurance broker over the phone. This will set up your Direct Debit and your monthly instalments will be automatically taken each month.

If your broker asks you to pay a deposit, they will discuss payment of this with you as a number of different options may be available.

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is a standardised way to disclose the cost of borrowing and is calculated based on a number of assumptions prescribed by law. Under a running account credit agreement, we have to calculate the APR over 12 months even if you're paying your agreement back over ten months or less. This makes sure that the use of APR is standard across all credit providers and means you can use it to compare different credit options.

The interest rate you will actually be charged is listed on your credit agreement as the gross rate.

The indicative total amount payable (ITAP) is an illustrative figure which we are required by law to include on our credit agreement. It tells you the total amount you would have to pay back including interest if you were taking out a policy of £1,200 / €1,500.

This is included as standard across all credit providers so that you can compare different credit options. It does not affect the amount you are paying or borrowing in any way.

The total amount you will pay is listed on your credit agreement and Standard European Consumer Credit Information (SECCI) as the total amount payable.

This is not the figure you are borrowing. It is a standard amount used to calculate the indicative total amount payable (the ITAP).
