We have launched our Plend Social Impact Charter which is a set of commitments that ensure we operate in a way which puts our values first. The Charter aims to challenge our business decisions and hold ourselves to account via three commitments, each with a set of promises which builds the foundation of the Charter.‍ The Plend Social Impact Charter is enshrined within our Articles of Association and forms the foundation for how Plend and its Board is governed. Including these values within our articles means it would take a 90% shareholder vote to remove it in the future..

Plend is proud to announce that we’ve submitted our application to join the mission, and are now officially a B-Corp Pending consumer lender. This means that we are committed to demonstrating that we’re an ethical solution to personal lending and that our business, both internal and external, has the procedures in place to prove it.

Our ‘Financial Inclusion Report: the impact of a cost of living credit crunch’ focuses on the impact of the cost of living crisis, personal and household finances, and the resulting impacts on access to financial services in the UK. The findings emphasise how badly some groups – such as young people and ethnic minorities – have been affected more by the crisis than by the pandemic, thereby contributing to the increase in financial exclusion of those looking for support.
