Firefighters working two jobs
We'll take into account 100% of second job income, where your client has had both jobs for at least six months. Plus, we have cashback options available.
Applicants with small blips on their credit file
Whether they're a teacher, or are in the armed forces, we'll consider applicants who have small blips on their credit file, like a missed credit card payment.
