    This is direct from the Government Website: 

    "Offering credit to consumers: the law

    You must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to offer credit to consumers"


    So how are DivideBuy getting around this? They are a UK registered company, I'm so confused.

    Because the regulations have not been changed as yet. Governments move very slowly

    >>Unfortunately, these plans will take a while to kick in - the government says draft legislation will be published towards the end of the year, followed by secondary legislation by mid-2023, after which the FCA will run a consultation.<<

    So might be looking at 2024 or 25 before anything gets passed into law.
