Here at Provident we have processes in place to ensure that we lend responsibly. These processes ensure that we never lend our customers more than we believe they can comfortably afford to payback. What's more, we are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland who are responsible for the supervision of most financial institutions in Ireland. Amongst other things, they make sure that the best interests of our customers are protected.
In addition, we also have protection on our website so you can be confident that you details are safe when you apply for a loan with us. However, something that we can't protect against is other people imitating us to try and get you to send them your personal details. We want to make you aware of this so that you can keep your personal information safe. If you are ever in any doubt or are suspicious about anything that says it has been sent from Provident, then call us on 1800 481 002, we are always happy to help.
Please keep these in mind;
We offer financial products and services within the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom (Including Northern Ireland) only.
We will never ask you to give us a deposit before you receive your loan. Once you have applied for your loan a Provident Agent will come to your home to discuss your application with you. If accepted, they will deliver your loan and collect your repayments from your home.
Apart from when you fill in our application form, we will never ask you to send us any of your personal details.
If you are ever in any doubt, please call us before you send your personal details.
We may sometimes contact you in the following ways;
• SMS
• Email
• Telephone
• Postal letter
We will only contact you in these ways for marketing purposes, we will never ask you to send us your personal details or ask for a deposit from you in order for you to receive your loan. For more information on our application process visit our how it works page.
All of our Agents carry I.D badges, for your safety when meeting for the first time, ask to see their I.D badge before you let them into your home.
