Applying for a Trade Credit Account with Integraflow Ltd

It is important that you understand how the personal information you give us will be used.

If you are making an application for a Integraflow Ltd Trade Credit Account, to process your application we may supply your personal information, that of the partners, other applicants or the directors in your company to credit reference agencies. This may leave a record of that search on the credit file. We do this to assess creditworthiness, verify identity, manage your account and prevent criminal activity.

The personal information we have collected from you and anyone you have a financial link with may be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance, or employment.

  1. Credit checks: What are they and how do they work?

Your application for a Integraflow Ltd Trade Credit Account will involve a credit check to assess your creditworthiness and prevent fraud.

First, we'll ask you for some details regarding yourself and your business. Depending on your business status we'll ask for different types of information. Then we'll share your personal information with licensed credit reference agencies who'll verify the information provided and perform a credit check on the business and identity checks on the applicants.

When we ask credit reference agencies to carry out the identity check, a record of that search is placed on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders. These credit reference agencies will also keep a record of the search and your application.

If you share a financial link with someone, you should make sure you discuss this with them before you make the application. Credit reference agencies will link your records together and these links will remain on your file and theirs until you or your partner successfully file for a disassociation with the credit reference agencies to break that link.

  1. How we use your information to make automated decisions

When considering your application, we'll use automated decision-making systems based on the information we have from you and are allowed to collect from others. The goal is to make decisions as quickly, efficiently, fairly, and correctly as possible, based on what we know.

Automated decisions can affect the type of account you may be offered and may mean we cannot offer you a Trade Credit Account or a Trade Cash Account.

You can object to an automated decision we have made and ask that a person reviews it. To request a review or to challenge a decision regarding your Trade Credit Account application please email: accounts@integraflow.co.uk

We'll ask you to complete a form and provide ID documentation that we will review manually.

2. Who we share your data with: Credit reference agencies

We'll share your personal information or that of the directors or partners or other listed individuals in the company with credit reference agencies. The data we exchange may include:

    • Trade Credit Account application
    • Trading name
    • Name, address, email address, telephone number
    • Bank details
    • Companies House company number
    • VAT number

We'll use the data to:

    • Assess the credit limit we are prepared to offer
    • Make sure what you've told us is true and correct
    • Help detect and prevent financial crime
    • Manage your accounts with us
    • Trace and recover debts

We will continue to exchange your personal information with credit reference agencies on an ongoing basis, for as long as you are a customer. This may include information about settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time.

You can find out more about the credit reference agency that we use from their websites. Here are links to their customer transparency notice and data privacy policies:

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
