Whilst looking to get a quick loan (stupid I know) I came across this site. All was going well until the last page where they wanted by digital Banking Code, passwords etc? :eek:I stopped the application immediately and got an email from them ..... see below

Why do we need the last page to be completed?
We need your online banking credentials in order to connect to your bank account so we can display your transactions and trigger payments in and out of your account.
At ClearAccount, we promise to keep all your personal details safe and secure. The security of any information you share with us and your privacy are our top priorities. That's why we use the same 128-bit encryption and physical security that your bank does.
ClearAccount is a "read-only" service. Our unswerving commitment to your security means we cannot control your bank account or make payments to third parties.


Are they kidding? As if I would ever give out these details to anyone. Sure it must be a [problem]......hopefully no-one has done this and i hope no-one will! I may need the money but not by giving out these details!

    Only 430% APR.

    How on earth can stay in business when they charge less than 1/10th the interest that Wonga and the other PDLs do?

    Pessimists see a glass half empty :(
    Engineers just see a glass twice the size it needed to be :D
