Why are you visiting us today?
You’re possibly just looking for more information about Percayso, or you may have recently engaged with one of our clients via an insurance quotation or a policy renewal and spotted a Percayso Inform search footprint on your credit file
This footprint is known as a ‘Soft Search’ and will be invisible to other lenders, which means it will not affect a lender’s decision whether or not to lend to you and it won’t affect your credit score.
