No security is required for this product, so the Cornwall assessment turns on income and the credit file.

What a lender checks for Cornwall applicants

Expect a Cornwall application to ask for identification, income evidence, bank records and a list of existing debts.

The information a Cornwall applicant supplies has to be accurate, because the lender can check it against records it already holds.

The provincial layer behind a instalment loan in Cornwall

Confirm the cap currently in force with the provincial regulator.
