Supporting our customers, sustainably
As a financially inclusive lender, we’re committed to social mobility and support a wide range of underserved people who often struggle to obtain finance elsewhere. We help our customers reach their property goals by enabling people to purchase their own home and landlords and businesses to solve problems and realise opportunities.
We’ll continue to enhance our customer experience with improved technology, and support people in making energy efficiency improvements to their properties, and support people in making energy-efficient amends to their properties with guidance on our EPC Hub. And we’ll continue to give a helping hand to our more vulnerable customers whenever they need us. It’s common sense.
Our customer targets
To provide at least one green mortgage product for our customers’ by the end of 2023.
To establish a partnership with an industry specialist by the end of 2023 to link our customers to experts with insight and knowledge to help improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
“Our purpose and vision is putting our customers at the heart of every decision we make.”
"We put ourselves in our customers’ shoes and treat people how we would want to be treated. We’ve invested heavily in training from the Money Advice Trust to make sure that we’re getting her right outcomes for our customers and to support our colleagues as well."
Marc Goldberg, Commercial Finance CEO.
Small steps for long-term change
Over the last year we have worked with Plain English, an independent group who champion plain English in public communication, to review all of our key automated and manual customer letters. The outcome of the review process meant we were awarded the Crystal Mark accreditation.
We’ve continued to identify vulnerable customers at various points in the customer journey and invested in best in class training with the Money Advice Trust for our frontline colleagues.
The improvements we’ve made over the last 12 months have been reflected in our customer feedback. As of November 2022, our Group NPS score stands at +52 which is a huge improvement from +41 last November. On top of this, all three of our review platforms, Google, TrustPilot and Feefo, stand proudly above 4 stars.
