The Smarterbuys Store is a weekly payment store working in partnership with social landlords across the UK to give their tenants access to cheaper credit for white goods, TVs and furniture, as an alternative to having to turn to payday loans and other high interest providers.
The charity was set up in 2012 in a partnership between an ethical community bank and an established housing association. Their new funding, which comes from the North East Social Investment Fund, managed by Northstar Ventures, will help the charity to market its services directly to consumers on lower incomes, not just those who are social housing tenants.
Vicky McCourt, chief executive at Smarterbuys Store said: “The surge in demand for our services shows that people on lower incomes who are excluded from mainstream credit are becoming increasingly savvy about shopping around for affordable, responsible, credit sources, before they commit to a loan.”
