Credicorp as a UK commercial lender is an independent British company. It has no ownership, group, or operational connection to any overseas financial institution that carries a similar name — including large Latin American banking groups that trade under comparable names in Peru, Chile, or other markets.
Why the names coincide
"Credicorp" is a compound of "credit" and "corporation" — a construction common in commercial finance globally. The similarity in name between the UK entity and unrelated overseas businesses is coincidental and does not imply any affiliation, shared branding, shared capital, or joint venture arrangement.
No cross-border lending or referrals
UK Credicorp lends only to UK-registered limited companies and LLPs. We do not operate referral arrangements with, or act as an agent or representative for, any overseas financial institution. Our funding, governance, and lending decisions are entirely UK-based and independent.
