Glenside Finance

Glenside Finance has never used discretionary commission agreements and has never allowed brokers or car dealers to set the amount of interest you pay. We are also named on the Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert website as one of the firms that have never had discretionary commission arrangements. Further information on the FCA’s Review into Discretionary Commissions can be viewed here.

Trading since 1990

Glenside Finance is a lender, providing car finance to people with a poor credit record for over 30 years.

Since starting the business in 1990 we have specialised in providing car finance to customers with a bad credit history.

We are Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Your Hire Purchase Agreement

Hire Purchase is a product that will allow you to own the vehicle at the end of the agreement, providing all terms and conditions have been adhered and your final payment have been paid.

You will essentially be hiring the vehicle until you have paid your final payment, after this you will be the owner.

Representative Example: The representative APR is 37.9% (fixed). If you borrow £7,000 over 4 years at a rate of 37.9% APR, the repayments are £262.50 per month for 48 months. The total amount repayable is £12,600.00. You could risk losing your vehicle if you do not keep up payments.

Our customers think we are car finance champions!
