Amigo Holdings PLC is listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker: AMGO). Amigo is the leading company in the UK guarantor loans market and offers access to mid-cost credit to those who are unable to borrow from traditional lenders due to their credit histories.

The guarantor loan concept introduces a second individual to the lending relationship, typically a family member or friend with a stronger credit profile than the borrower. This individual acts as guarantor, undertaking to make loan payments if the borrower does not.

Amigo was founded in 2005 and has grown to become the UK’s largest provider of guarantor loans, with approximately 88% UK product share as of 31 March 2018. In the process, Amigo’s guarantor loan product has allowed borrowers to rebuild their credit scores and improve their ability to access credit from mainstream financial service providers.

Amigo operates within the mid-cost credit market providing a simple and transparent product – a guarantor loan at an APR of 49.9%, with no fees, early redemption penalties or any other charges.

Amigo Loans Ltd and Amigo Management Services Ltd are authorised and regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority.
