How do I spot a loan scam or impersonation of Credicorp in the UK?

Things a genuine Credicorp Limited message will do

  • It will be signed from Credicorp Limited and use an email address ending @credicorp.co.uk.
  • It will reference your real account or reference number, not a generic "Dear Customer".
  • It will direct you to credicorp.co.uk or to your own bank — never to an unfamiliar third-party domain.
  • It will give you time to act. If a payment is due, we will tell you when, but we will not pressure you to act in the next five minutes.

Things a scam often does

  • Uses a slightly-wrong domain — credi-corp.co.uk, credicorp-pay.com, anything that is not the real credicorp.co.uk.
  • Creates urgency: "your account will be suspended in one hour", "final notice", "act now".
  • Asks you to pay to a new bank account that you have not seen on any previous statement.
  • Asks for your full card number, your online-banking password, or a one-time security code (your bank will never ask for these either, and neither will we).
  • Sends a link asking you to "log in to verify" — we do not operate a customer log-in like this and we will not ask you to.

If something looks wrong

Do not click links and do not call any phone number in the suspicious message itself. Instead:

  • Open this website directly by typing credicorp.co.uk into your browser.
  • Use the phone number or email address on the Contact Us page to ask us about the message you received.
  • If money has already moved, contact your bank straight away and ask them to attempt a recall.
  • You can also report the message to Action Fraud (the UK's national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime) at actionfraud.police.uk, or by forwarding suspicious texts to 7726.
