MPs are to vote on an amendment to the Finance Bill on Tuesday 28th June.

Announcing its support, Graeme Hughes, Group Director, said:

"Nationwide is encouraging greater scrutiny into the high-cost lending practices of legal loan sharks to ensure transparency and the protection of consumers.

"These vulnerable consumers remain at risk from a lack of transparency and the irresponsible lending practices of legal loan sharks.

"Nationwide, as a responsible lender, recently provided £3 million to Citizens Advice to fund MoneyActive financial capability volunteers in local communities."
