Understanding Loqbox memberships
At Loqbox, we’re on a mission to give everyone access to a richer life. You probably have a goal in mind — and most goals in life involve money. Our memberships are here to give you the tools you need to build your creditworthiness, save for the future, and make a plan to achieve what matters most to you.
Full Loqbox membership
When you join Loqbox as a full member you’ll get access to all of our powerful credit-building tools:
- ✔ Boost your credit history with an interest-free credit account.
- ✔ Build your creditworthiness while saving.
- ✔ Grow your borrowing power with your rent.
- ✔ Get a personalised financial plan and learn how it all works.
Full membership is our fastest and best value plan: full Loqbox members grow their scores by an average of 200 points in their first year.
How full Loqbox membership works
When you join Loqbox as a full member, we’ll give you a line of credit which you can use to pay for things in Loqbox, including your membership fees.
You can only use your credit limit to pay for Loqbox tools, helping you learn to feel in control of your credit use. We’ll report how you manage this line of credit, including your repayments, to the three main CRAs. Simply make your payments on time for a hassle-free enhancement to your credit profile.
More available credit = lower credit utilisation. Lenders love to see you keeping your credit use low — it’s key to improving your credit score. By activating this tool, you can lower your credit utilisation:
Note: If you’d prefer not to use this tool, you can make your full Loqbox membership payments weekly.
Log in and set a savings goal for the next year, from £240-£2,400 (equivalent to £20-£200 a month). We'll create a digital savings voucher for that amount, ready for you to redeem in 12 months' time.
Making it count: Here’s how using this Loqbox tool builds your credit. You buy your digital savings voucher using interest-free credit from our sister finance company Loqbox Finance*. Each month, you’ll make repayments on that credit. We report your payments to the CRAs, helping you boost your credit.
Redeem your savings: After the year is up, you redeem your digital savings voucher and get your savings. Time to celebrate!
Note: As a full Loqbox member, use of this tool is included. (For Lite members wanting to build their credit with this tool, it’s £0 or £30 for a year of credit building. Find out more.)
*Our sister company Loqbox Finance (the trading name of DDC Financial Solutions Ltd) provides you with interest-free finance to purchase a cash-redeemable savings voucher from Loqbox. Think of this voucher like a digital piggy bank.
Log in, securely connect your bank account with Open Banking, and tell us your rent date and amount. We’ll report your rent payments to Experian. By boosting your credit history, you can build your borrowing power.
Loqbox Lite
Everyone deserves the opportunity to enhance their creditworthiness. That’s why we created Loqbox Lite to give you a taste of what you can achieve with Loqbox. Join for £0 or £30 a year.
With our Lite membership, you can:
- ✔ Grow your credit while saving.
- ✔ Get a personalised financial plan.
- ✔ Learn how it all works.
Members with Loqbox Lite grow their scores by 145 points in their first year on average.
How Loqbox lite works
Join Loqbox as a Lite member to build your credit while you save. Simply log in, activate our savings tool, and set your goal: choose how much you want to save for the next year, from £240-£2400 (equivalent to £20-£200 a month).
Once you’ve set your savings target, our sister company Loqbox Finance* will give you interest-free credit which you’ll use to purchase a cash-redeemable savings voucher. (Think of this like a digital piggy bank).
Each month, you’ll make repayments on that credit. We’ll report your payments to the three main CRAs, helping you build your creditworthiness.
Once the year is up, and you’ve made 12 payments, you will have repaid your loan. You can then redeem your digital savings voucher, and get your savings.
As a Lite member, you can choose whether you want to pay £0 or £30 for your Loqbox credit-building journey. Either transfer your savings to an account with one of our partners to use this tool for £0, or pay £30 for credit-building if you want to move your savings to an existing bank account.
*Our sister company Loqbox Finance (the trading name of DDC Financial Solutions Ltd) provides you with interest-free finance to purchase a cash-redeemable savings voucher from Loqbox. This lets you build your credit while saving.

When lenders check your credit report, they want to see proof that you can manage credit responsibly by making regular payments. When you use the powerful credit-building tools included with your Loqbox membership, we report your payments to the CRAs, which helps to build your credit history.
There are three main CRAs in the UK: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. They’re responsible for collecting information about your credit history and preparing your credit report. Each CRA generates a credit score to help you understand how lenders might view your creditworthiness — the higher your score, the more likely lenders will be to offer you credit, and give you better rates.
Full Loqbox members can build their credit with their membership payments, rent payments and while saving. With Loqbox Lite, you can grow your credit with our savings tool.
When you log in and activate our savings tool, we ask you to set a goal. You choose how much you want to save over the next year, from £240-£2,400 (equivalent to £20-£200 a month).
Each month you’ll make payments towards your savings target. But how do these build your credit?
When you activate this tool, we’ll create a digital savings voucher for your goal amount. (Think of this like a digital piggy bank, which you can crack open in a year’s time.) You buy this savings voucher using interest-free credit from our sister finance company Loqbox Finance*. You’ll make repayments on that credit every month. We’ll report your repayments to the CRAs — by making your payments on time you can prove your creditworthiness.
After the year is up, you can redeem your digital savings voucher and get your savings. The CRAs factor your repayment history into your credit score — by managing this tool, and any other credit agreements you have, responsibly you can boost your credit.
*Our sister company Loqbox Finance (the trading name of DDC Financial Solutions Ltd) provides you with interest-free finance to purchase a cash-redeemable savings voucher from Loqbox. Think of this voucher like a digital piggy bank.
Loqbox is here to give you easy ways to build your creditworthiness. But it’s important to know that missed payments can harm your credit score.
