    It has lower bad debts than the usual lending companies (they quote the statistics on their site)
    Their borrowers are from the most reliable end of the market (though they have now added a category of "young borrowers" who presumably have less credit history and must be considered a greater gamble)
    And you can limit your lending to exclude any category, such as the young ones, or to only include the A1 group. But the less risk you take, the lower the interest rate the borrower expects to pay.
