Despite my negative reaction, press are reporting quite positively so far:-
Guarantor loans provider Amigo Holdings reported a sharp rise in quarterly profit
Revenue in the three months to June 30 was up 14% year-on-year to GBP71.5 million, with pretax profit up 33% to GBP22.6 million. The firm's net loan book grew 14% to GBP728.4 million.
In response to "an evolving regulatory and economic environment", Amigo said it will be prioritising new customer lending over re-lending to existing clients, while its credit policy has been "further enhanced and tightened".
"This positive action means that we are hitting the ground running ahead of what we recognise is a changing regulatory and economic landscape. By doing this, we are being proactive and pragmatic. We are focused on achieving the best customer outcomes - all with long-term returns as a key driver," said Chief Executive Hamish Paton.
