Richard Livesey, marketing communications manager of Darwin Group, said: “The borrowing needs across the country are as diverse as our coastline, with our insight showing the variations across the British Isles.
“While we can see commonality in the lending dispositions in certain towns, our insight shows the dramatic variance in the personal reasons why individuals look to take out a loan.
“While some may wish to consolidate debt, others can be seen to pursue hobbies and business ventures.
“With no two individuals’ needs or situations the same, we are dedicated to lending.
“The decisions are never made exclusively on a credit score, but instead by understanding the circumstances behind a loan request and making an intelligent decision based on a number of factors.”
