Will you carry out a credit search?

As a responsible lender, Cred will always carry out a credit search. A credit search will be performed when you submit an application for a Cred account which will leave a “hard footprint” on your credit report. Checking your eligibility for Cred won’t impact your credit rating. We use TransUnion to carry out the credit searches.
