3.2 Directors and/or shareholders of borrowers that are limited companies and members of borrowers that are LLPs may be required to give a personal guarantee before any funds are released by us to the borrower.

3.3 Before you make a loan application on behalf of a borrower, you must apply full customer due diligence measures to the borrower in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 and any other applicable laws, regulations, codes of practice and guidance relating to money laundering, including without limitation guidance of the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group. You must make available to Funding Circle, on request, copies of all data, documents and other information used for such verification and retain the customer due diligence records for a minimum period of 5 years from the date on which Funding Circle relies on the records.

3.4 We will need to authenticate the identity of the borrower's business and certain people authorised to act on its behalf and will use credit reference agencies such as Equifax or Experian to do so. Otherwise we may require you to send us copies of the relevant passports or other identification documents and anything else that we may need.

3.5 Once you make a loan application on behalf of a borrower, we will carry out credit and fraud checks on the borrower's business and its partners, members, shareholders or directors using credit reference agencies such as Equifax or Experian. Funding Circle uses its own internal guidelines and policies when assessing applications but has complete discretion as to whether we allow the loan application to be posted on the Funding Circle platform.

3.6 You will update us if any of the information (relating to the borrower or to you) that you provide to us changes. Funding Circle may contact the borrower directly to check the accuracy of any information, or to confirm that you are authorised to act as agent of the borrower, or otherwise.

3.7 If you become aware that a borrower’s finances, business, governance structure or shareholder positions materially change prior to Funding Circle releasing funds to a borrower, you must inform Funding Circle and also inform the borrower that Funding Circle may terminate the loan immediately without notice and in its absolute discretion. You must inform the borrower that they will remain liable for any interest incurred between acceptance and termination.

3.8 Before you provide information about the borrower to us, you must tell the borrower how their information will be used and provide them with a copy of the relevant section of our privacy policy (accessible online athttp://www.fundingcircle.com/privacy) and the borrower terms and conditions https://www.fundingcircle.com/home/terms-and-conditions). You agree to indemnify, and keep indemnified, Funding Circle against all costs, expenses, damages, loss, liabilities, demands, claims, actions or proceedings which Funding Circle may suffer or incur arising out of your breach of the obligations in this clause 3.8.

3.9 Funding Circle gives each borrower a risk band classification at the time a loan request is processed, which is based on information included in the borrower’s application and the results of an online check made with credit reference agencies such as CreditSafe, Equifax or Experian. Funding Circle does not check or edit the information submitted or uploaded by a borrower.

3.10 The interest rate for each loan is fixed by Funding Circle, on the basis of a number of factors including term and risk band. The fixed interest rates are reviewed regularly by Funding Circle and can be changed at any time. You must inform a borrower that if they, or you on their behalf, receive an offer prior to your, on the borrower’s behalf or the borrower’s acceptance of the Key Contract Terms (which set out the specific details of a loan), the interest rate in the offer is subject to change if the interest rates on the platform generally are changed. Once you, on the borrower’s behalf or the borrower has accepted the Key Contract Terms, the interest rate will not be changed. You must inform a borrower that if your loan is re-listed on the Funding Circle platform at any time, it will be re-listed at the interest rate applicable at the time of the new listing.

3.11 If we agree to allow your application onto the Funding Circle platform, and provided you have satisfied our application and assessment criteria and conditions, you will have the opportunity to review and accept the Loan Contract, comprised of the Key Contract Terms and Loan Conditions (it being understood that a binding Loan Contract shall not be formed unless and until your loan is fully funded and the listing is closed. Provided you accept the terms and conditions of the Loan Contract, and save for the exercise of our discretion as provided for in these Terms, your loan request will be listed on our marketplace. Once you have accepted a Loan Contract it cannot be cancelled by you (though, after funding and once in full force and effect, it can be repaid at any time as described in clause 5.3 of these Terms).

3.12 If listed by us on our platform, we will randomly allocate the loan to either the loan part market or to the whole loan market (although we may allocate the loan to a specific market if we consider it reasonable to do so in good faith with regard to our relationship with investors on the platform). If the loan is allocated to the whole loan market it will be available to investors for one of them to lend the full amount requested.

3.13 Further to the allocation of the loan to the loan part market or the whole loan market, a loan request page will be displayed on the platform if we agree to allow the application onto the Funding Circle platform. The loan documentation will contain the name of the borrower's business. Please see our privacy policy for more information on which details of the borrower are provided to investors and those which are withheld, in particular clause 3.2(d) and (e) of our privacy policy (together with the page on our platform called "What information will be available to investors?" under "FAQs for Borrowers" as updated from time to time). We may amend borrower's details that you provide on the loan request page (except information identifying the borrower) at our discretion.

3.14 Once the loan request page is listed, prospective investors will start bidding for parts or for the whole of the amount that the borrower has requested.

3.15 The listing process shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date the borrower's loan request is and (ii) the date falling 7 calendar days after the date the listing is commenced (unless otherwise extended by Funding Circle in its absolute discretion).

3.16 The information on the loan request page can be edited at any time before the request is listed. After the loan has been listed you cannot amend the loan request page until the listing period expires, or if the borrower accepts a loan you will not be able to amend the loan request page until such time as the entire loan has been repaid in full.

3.17 If any personal guarantee is provided of the borrower's obligations, the borrower, directors, shareholders and members must represent and warrant that there has been no undue influence or inducement of the guarantor. You give this representation and warranty on their behalf and confirm to us that you will make each such borrower aware of that representation and warranty. You also represent and warrant to us, in your own capacity as agent, that you are not aware of any such undue influence or inducement of any such guarantor.

3.18 Funding Circle's principal role is to perform introductory functions on behalf of borrowers and investors in order to bring together prospective borrowers and investors, to provide a stream-lined process for entering into loans (including the development of standard form loan agreements) and to facilitate the payment and collection of sums due under or in connection with those loans (including certain limited actions upon a borrower's default as set out in these terms and conditions).

3.19 While Funding Circle adds value to the credit analysis as part of our loan application review and credit assessment processes, the provision of a risk band classification is intended to be informative only and an investor must form its own opinion regarding the creditworthiness of a borrower and undertake its own research, analysis and assessment of each borrower for each loan, and where appropriate, seek its own independent financial advice.

3.20 Funding Circle accepts no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any information about a borrower made available to prospective investors through the Funding Circle platform or for risk band classifications. Funding Circle may from time to time, but accepts no obligation to, update or amend at any time borrower's information or the risk band classification (including between when the loan request is first made and when it is entered into, and during the term of any loan).

3.21 A Loan Contract is not formed unless and until the loan request is fully funded and the listing is closed (the “Listing Close Date”) but, if a loan request is fully funded, the Loan Contract with the relevant offering investor(s) for the loan (and each of its respective loan parts) shall automatically come into effect and shall be legally enforceable on and from the Listing Close Date.

3.22 You must, prior to accepting loan request offer, ensure that the borrower has authorised you to accept the loan request offer on their behalf on the terms of the Loan Contract (a copy of which can be found on our website at http://www.fundingcircle.com/home/terms-and-conditions/). Once you have accepted the aggregate loan offer on behalf of the borrower, the loan documentation will be generated automatically to include the Key Contract Terms, which set out the specific details of the loan, and our Loan Conditions, together the Loan Contract. A hard copy of the Loan Contract must be signed by the borrower. A signed Loan Contract must be faxed or a PDF emailed to Funding Circle.

3.23 A Funding Circle loan account, into which the loan monies will be paid in accordance with the procedure outlined below, is created for the borrower at the time the loan application is accepted onto the Funding Circle platform.

3.24 If the loan is not fully funded within the relevant listing period, or if we have exercised our discretion to de-list a loan, then your loan request will be cancelled, and any funds bid will be released back to investors. If the loan is fully funded, you may then, with authority of the borrower, transfer the money to the borrower's bank or building society account. If you do not accept the aggregated loan request offer on behalf of the borrower within the five day period, the loan request will be cancelled and any funds bid will be released to investors. Interest shall start to accrue on and from the Listing Close Date. You will be sent details of the repayment schedule by email, and you will also be able to view this in your account.

3.25 If the loan request has not been fully funded within the stated listing period we will remove it from the platform within two months from the start of the listing process.

3.26 Each loan will be for the period specified in the Loan Contract applying to it.

3.27 In all Loan Contracts and loan part transfer documentation we will quote a lender's address as being "c/o Funding Circle Limited" and state Funding Circle's postal address. All notices and communications to be given to an investor must be sent to Funding Circle on that investor's behalf and this will be sufficient to identify the investors for the purposes of the Loan Contracts. Details of relevant investors are available to you or the borrower upon request.

3.28 If you’re introducing a sole trader or a partnership having three or fewer partners (not all of whom are corporates), you must either have a valid interim permission for credit broking from the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) or be fully authorised for credit broking by the FCA.

4. Fees

4.1 A completion fee of the amount specified in the Loan Contract will be payable if you accept the loan on behalf of the borrower. We will deduct the completion fee from the amount borrowed before it is transferred to the borrower's Funding Circle loan account.

4.2 In addition, we have the right to charge an annualised fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1% of the outstanding principal (or such other amount as shall be notified by us to investors and borrowers from time to time) by increasing the interest rate charged on the loan to cover the costs of running the website and administering the loans. The Servicing Fee, if any, is included in the rate of interest stated in the Key Contract Terms (and the rate stated in the Key Contract Terms will never be increased) and will be taken directly from loan repayments. This fee does not cover the costs of our credit analysis which we carry out as part of our underwriting exercise, which is a no-cost added value arrangement only. 

5. Commission

5.1 You will be paid commission if the borrower accepts a loan for which you have applied on their behalf and if you and Funding Circle agree that commission will be payable to you. The level of commission will be agreed between you and Funding Circle and will be set out in your Funding Circle agent account. For the avoidance of doubt, the level of commission may be zero. If you and Funding Circle do not agree on the applicable level of commission, Funding Circle may refuse to set up a Funding Circle agent account for you. We will deduct the agreed level of commission from the completion fee.

5.2 Funding Circle operates a transparent fee structure and encourages all agents not to charge additional fees to their clients. Where considered necessary to charge an additional fee to your client and provided you are not changing the fee from the default agreed by us, this must be no more than 3% of the loan amount in respect of a loan with a term of no more than 3 years and 4% of the loan amount in respect of a loan with a term of between 3 and 5 years.

5.3 If you use the Funding Circle flexible fee product for commission and the overall fee (including our completion fee and your commission) to the borrower is increased beyond the default fee agreed by us, you must not take any additional fees (including for the avoidance of doubt any documentation or commitment fee) to the borrower if the loan is accepted. If you charge any up front additional fees to the borrower, such fees must be reimbursed once the loan has been drawn down by the borrower and you have received your commission.

5.4 If a borrower asks you for the amount of the fee charged by you, you must provide this information.

5.5 On drawdown of the loan by, or on behalf of, the Borrower, the commission will be transferred into your Funding Circle agent account and it can then be transferred to your bank or building society account or otherwise used by you on the Funding Circle platform. You may not use any commission in your Funding Circle agent account on the Funding Circle platform, including for lending.

5.6 In certain circumstances, Funding Circle may (but is not obliged to) enforce certain terms of the Loan Contract on behalf of the investors under it. In doing so, Funding Circle is authorised to act as agent on behalf of the investors in accordance with its agreed terms and conditions with the investors in taking such action.

6. Repaying the loan

6.1 The amount of the monthly, or other scheduled, repayments payable to investors in respect of the loans of the borrower will be set out in the Loan Contract or Loan Contracts, and a detailed payment schedule will be provided to you following the Loan Contract being in force (and such information is also available through your account on the platform).

6.2 You must explain to the borrower that we will collect the repayment amounts each month from the borrower's bank or building society account using debit card repayments and that such repayment amounts will be collected up to 5 days before the date specified in the Loan Contract in order to ensure that funds are received and distributed to investors.

6.3 The monthly, or other scheduled, repayments payable by the borrowers on whose behalf you have procured loans to each investor can be viewed in the Borrower Accounts section of your Funding Circle agent account.

6.4 Borrowers may repay an entire loan early at any time at no extra cost provided they pay the interest due until the end of the month in which the loan is repaid and the principal amount outstanding.

7. Missing payments

7.1 If at any time the borrower believes that it may not be able to make one or more repayments under a Loan Contract, you or the borrower should contact us immediately. If the borrower misses a payment or only partially pays the amount due, we (ourselves or through an agent acting on our behalf) will contact you and the borrower and ask you why the borrower has missed a repayment, and we will attempt to collect the payment. We reserve the right to contact you or the borrower by any method necessary including, without limitation, by letter, email, phone call, SMS or by sending private messages to your and the borrower’s affiliated social media accounts.. If our reattempt to collect the funds fails, 2 days after the payment was due the Borrower's account will be treated as an overdue account and we will continue to attempt to collect the funds. We may refer the missed payment to a debt collections agency (the "Collections Agency"), who will attempt to collect the money on the investors' behalf, although we will not apply any collections charges if we do so.

7.2 If payment has still not been made 7 days from the date payment was due, Funding Circle may charge the Borrower administration fees up to 15% of the missed payment amount for their work in collecting amounts outstanding which would be in addition to the loan sums due. This fee will be payable immediately. We may also charge for our tracing charges, field agents' costs, litigation costs, expenses and other third party fees and in-house collections charges (if the loan is defaulted or becomes 4 months in arrears) incurred by Funding Circle in the course of protecting the interests of the investors.

7.3 Save in exceptional circumstances (such circumstances being deemed exceptional by Funding Circle in its absolute discretion from time to time), if the borrower misses, fails to pay or only partially pays, three or more consecutive monthly instalments, or otherwise fails to comply with any term or condition of the Loan Conditions, the loan will be placed into default, we will issue the Borrower with a default notice and termination notice and we will pursue the Borrower for the total loan amount outstanding. We will try to give the Borrower 17 days' notice before filing a default on the Borrower's credit reference file although we may not always be able to do so. Please see our privacy policy for more details on how we disclose information about borrowers.

7.4 If we and/or the Collections Agency is still unable to collect the debt, investors will assign their loan interests to Funding Circle Trustee Limited ("FCTL") or Funding Circle Property Finance Limited ("FCPFL") (the “Security Agent”), each a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of Funding Circle Limited, to hold as legal owner on trust for the investors FCL (acting on behalf of the Security Agent), may take such steps as it considers necessary or desirable to recover the amount owed from your borrower and/or the relevant guarantors, including without limitation to sell the assigned debt to a debt purchaser, instruct third parties to assist with the recovery process, and/or commence formal legal or insolvency action. If such further action is necessary a collections charge will be added to your debt (see the following link for the bandings of collections charges: https://support.fundingcircle.com/hc/en-us/articles/214639566) in addition to any third party costs (including without limitation any external legal fees). Such costs and charges will be passed onto the borrower as the defaulting party. . In respect of loans completed on or after 28 September 2015, Investors may not opt-out of assigning their loan parts or whole loans to FCTL or FCPFL. In respect of loans entered into before this date, investors are able to opt-out of the transfer of their loans parts or whole loans to FCTL or FCPFL but if they do so they have undertaken to Funding Circle and the borrower (amongst others) in the Terms and Conditions for Investors to act at all times in a fair, transparent and proportionate manner having due regard to the borrower and/or guarantor, and in compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and best practice guidance. For the avoidance of doubt, Funding Circle has no liability to you whatsoever for the conduct of investors in any capacity, and is not obliged under any circumstances to enforce the investor undertaking referred to above.

7.5 Notwithstanding the provisions in clauses 7.1 to 7.4 above, time is of the essence with regard to payment of each monthly repayment. Accordingly, Funding Circle may, if it considers it necessary or desirable to, default the loan and demand immediate payment of the full amount of the loan (with all outstanding accrued interest) plus costs and the collections charges if any repayment is missed or only partially repaid (and such missed repayment is not remedied within 10 business days), or if the borrower (or any guarantor of the loan) enters or is deemed to be likely to enter any formal or informal insolvency process.

7.6 In circumstances where the relevant loan or loans are large asset finance loans, FCAF may (or its authorised representatives may), without notice and at the borrower's expense, retake possession of the business asset or assets and for this purpose may enter any property, site or premises at which the assets are located as detailed under the underlying conditional sale or lease agreement.

7.7 If we agree a payment plan with a borrower, you must inform the borrower that we may, at any time, verify the affordability of the payment plan by requesting information from you, on behalf of the borrower, which you, on behalf of the borrower, will promptly provide, and by carrying out online checks made with credit reference agencies such as CreditSafe, Equifax or Experian.

7.8 If the borrower has missed a payment on their original repayment schedule, we may send the borrower payment reminders (by any method necessary, including without limitation, by email, phone call, SMS or by sending private messages to their affiliated social media accounts) unless you, on the borrower’s behalf or the borrower expressly ask us not to.

7.9 You warrant that you will explain to the borrower the consequences of missing a repayment in accordance with this clause 7.

8. Terminating your membership of Funding Circle

8.1 If you no longer want to be a member of Funding Circle and provided no borrowers for whom you are acting as agent have Loan Contracts in force at the time, you can let us know and we will end your membership.

            4. Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention Agencies

            Credit Reference Agencies (‘CRAs’)

            4.1 From time to time we undertake credit reference checks against Borrowers and Investors (and against directors, partners, members, shareholders and beneficial owners of Borrowers and Investors), guarantors and Agents:

            • as part of the application process; and
            • if there are late repayments or default,

            and by proceeding with an application then you consent to this.

            4.2 When CRAs receive a search request from Funding Circle they will:

            • place a credit search “footprint” on your business credit file whether or not your application proceeds. If the search was for a credit application the record of that search may be seen by other organisations when your business applies for credit in the future;
            • place an enquiry or organisational search on the personal credit files of directors, partners, members, beneficial owners and shareholders that have been searched, as well as an associate enquiry search on your personal financial partner’s credit file, if they are a director;
            • link together the previous and subsequent names advised by you of anyone that is a party to the account;
            • place an enquiry or identification search on the record of any shareholder or beneficial owner and who Funding Circle has checked; and
            • create a record of the name and address of your business and its proprietors (if there is not one already).
            • 4.3 We will give details of all loans taken through the marketplace and how they are managed to the CRAs. If you borrow and do not repay in full and on time, the CRAs will record the outstanding debt and, in some cases, the length of time that the debt remains outstanding; other organisations may see these updates and this affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

              4.4 Any records shared with CRAs will remain on file for six years after your account is closed, whether any outstanding sums have been settled by you or following a default.

              4.5 You can contact the CRAs currently operating in the UK. The information they hold may not be the same so you may consider contacting them all. They will charge you a small statutory fee. They are:

              • CallCredit, Consumer Services Team, PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ or call 0870 0601414
              • Equifax, Credit File Advice Centre, PO Box 3001, Bradford, BD1 5US or call 0870 010 0583 or log on to www.myequifax.co.uk
              • Experian, Consumer Help Service, PO Box 8000, Nottingham NG80 7WF or call 0844 4818000 or log on to www.experian.co.uk

              False information and Fraud Prevention Agencies (‘FPAs’)

              4.6 If you give us false or inaccurate information or if we suspect or identify fraud we may record this and may also pass this information to FPAs (such as CIFAS) and other organisations involved in crime and fraud prevention including law enforcement agencies.

              4.7 We and other organisations may access and use (a) this information in order to prevent fraud, money laundering or other criminal activity (for example, by checking details on credit applications, for managing credit and recovering debt), (b) information recorded by FPAs from other countries, (c) checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance, and (d) checking details of job applicants and employees.

              4.8 Please contact us if you want to receive details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies.

               

              5. Accessing and correcting your information

              You may, at any time:

              • exercise your right to request access to certain personal records we hold about you (a subject access request), subject to payment of the fee specified by law (currently £10). Please email contactus@fundingcircle.com with the subject line “subject access request”;
              • request that we update and correct any out-of-date or inaccurate personal information we hold about you. You can email us at contactus@fundingcircle.com, and also log-in to your Funding Circle account and make changes yourself;

              • request that credit reference agencies provide you with information that they hold about you. You must contact them directly to do this.

              6. Opting out

              You may, at any time:

              • opt out of any marketing communications that Funding Circle may send you; and
              • tell us if you have changed your mind about us referring you to a third party broker or lender.

              Please contact us to tell us if you have changed your mind or, in relation to email marketing, unsubscribe following the link on an email you have received.

               

              7. Security and other Third Parties

              7.1 Whilst Funding Circle takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal information that you provide to it, we accept no liability if communications are intercepted by third parties or incorrectly delivered or not delivered.

              7.2 If Funding Circle transfers your information to third parties we will take steps to ensure that such transfer and any on-going processing by such third parties is carried out securely and in accordance with applicable privacy law.

              7.3 The website and marketplace contain links to other websites operated by third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to the personal information that Funding Circle collects and we are not responsible for personal information that third parties may collect, store and use through other websites.

              7.4 You also have a responsibility to ensure that your information is kept secure. If you are a member of our marketplace, you must:

              • keep your login details secret;
              • log out of your account when not using it;
              • try and maintain good internet security (for example, be careful when using public WiFi or shared access internet connections); and
