Aim of this survey

Office for National Statistics (ONS) is updating the list of businesses that qualify to complete the Monthly Survey of Consumer Credit Grantors. The purpose of this survey is to minimise the burden on your business, by ensuring ONS only contacts you when it is necessary.

The survey is voluntary; but your co-operation in completing the questionnaire would be appreciated.

What you need to know

To complete the survey, you will need the following information:

  • any business granting credit to individuals in its own right
  • whether the business is active within the UK
  • if the business holds a banking licence

All information you provide is strictly confidential.
