What is a CIFAS Marker?
CIFAS stands for Credit Industry Fraud Avoidance System. CIFAS markers pose as warnings about the risk you represent to a bank or business. CIFAS put markers against your credit report if an organisation, such as a bank or loan company, suspects you of fraudulent activity.
How can Suits Me help?
Suits Me are not members of CIFAS, which is a not-for-profit organisation. We do not report into CIFAS, nor use their data. What we do at Suits Me is use advanced technology to prevent Fraud. We have zero tolerance towards fraudulent acts, however we also have an inclusive approach to those who have been victims of fraud and found themselves with a CIFAS marker because of it.
As we do not conduct credit checks at Suits Me, your CIFAS marker will not stop you from opening an account to manage your money.
Don’t just take our word for it

FAQs
Living with a CIFAS marker
CIFAS markers can affect you in lots of ways including:
Banking: A bank may close or block your access to your account, freezing your funds and transactions to certain services.
Access to credit: CIFAS markers can stop you accessing credit, such as an overdraft or loan. Lenders can view you as a high-risk customer and decline your application for credit.
Insurance: Some Insurance companies may check your credit history before issuing policies. As a CIFAS marker represents a higher risk this can increase your premiums or cause you to be rejected for insurance.
Employment: Job applications in the financial sector will be difficult. Financial institutions often require a credit check before offering employment along with other specific types of employers. A CIFAS marker can limit your opportunities of employment through either being rejected on application or termination of employment.
Reputation: A CIFAS marker can damage your reputation
Legal proceedings: CIFAS markers can be used as evidence in legal proceedings in some circumstances.
