Why workplace loans are needed

  • Borrowing is part of life

    Most people borrow at some point to manage their finances¹. Across Stream members, 1 in 3 already have a personal loan², many have limited savings, and overall borrowing is higher than the national average.

  • Without a fair option, the cost adds up

    When fair credit isn't available, people don't stop borrowing. They go elsewhere. The average APR Stream members pay for a personal loan on the open market is 65%³.

  • Workplace Loans are the safer alternative

    Stream gives your employees a fairer way to borrow, with average lower rates, repayments built into their pay, and support if their circumstances change. On a £3,000 loan, they could save £551 in interest on average⁓.

¹ 84% of UK adults hold at least 1 credit or loan product. FCA Financial Lives Survey 2024. ² Experian, Aug 2025. ³ Experian, March 2026. ⁓ We believe via analysis of Experian files that, only for members to whom we have disbursed loans, the average APR for personal loans from previous providers is 32.8% vs an average APR of 21.3% for Stream. Considering an illustrative example of a £3,000 loan over 3 years, this represents £551 savings in interest for members.

Why Stream members love our loans

What makes Stream loans different

Fair rates, no extra fees

Stream loans have no additional fees for the origination, early repayment or late repayment. Compared with the average 65%⁶ APR Stream members pay for a personal loan on open market, this represents an average saving of £551 per member⁵.

Price promise

We understand that finding the best deal is important when securing a loan. That's why we're proud to offer a Price Promise on Workplace Loans . If our members have found a lower rate on a comparable loan offer, we promise to match it⁷.

Salary-linked repayments

Repayments are aligned to pay cycles and automatically deducted when employees are paid. 
 In member surveys, around 60%⁸ say this is the most valuable feature, helping reduce missed payments and making borrowing easier to manage.

Save as you borrow

Loan repayments are rounded up into savings, helping employees build a financial buffer while repaying their loan. 

Early results show 13% of non-savers started saving for the first time, while 36% of existing savers increased their contributions⁹.

True debt consolidation

Members will be able to combine existing debts into a single repayment within the platform, simplifying their finances and reducing reliance on multiple lenders.
