About Morses Club
Morses Club is an established non-standard financial services
provider, consisting of Morses Club, the UK's second largest home
collected credit ("HCC") provider, and Shelby Finance, which
operates online lending through its Dot Dot brand and U Holdings
Limited, which provides online current accounts.
UK HCC is considered to be a specialised segment of the broader
UK non-standard credit market. UK HCC loans are typically small,
unsecured cash loans delivered directly to customers' homes.
Repayments are collected in person during weekly follow-up visits
to customers' homes. UK HCC is considered to be stable and
well-established, with approximately 1.6 million(1) people using
the services of UK HCC lenders.
The HCC division is the second largest UK Home Collected Credit
lender with 224,000 customers and 1,817 agents across 92 locations
throughout the UK. The majority of the Company's customers are
repeat borrowers and the HCC division enjoys consistently high
customer satisfaction scores of 97%(2) . In April 2016 its cashless
lending product Morses Club Card was introduced, enabling its
customers to buy online as well as on the high street. In February
2019, the Company introduced an online customer portal for its HCC
customers, which had 30,000 registered customers at 31 August
2019.
Shelby Finance, via the Dot Dot brand has 36,000 active
customers and U Holdings, through the U Account online current
account brand has 16,000 customers. Dot Dot is a provider of 3 - 12
month online loans in the non-standard credit market.
