Fair for You
What is Fair for You?
Fair for You is a not-for-profit, FCA-regulated lender that helps families who can't always access credit from mainstream providers. They offer a Shopping Card loan with a manageable credit limit so you can spread the cost of everyday essentials - like school uniform - without the worry of eye-watering interest rates.
How does the Trutex and Fair for You partnership work?
It's simple. If you have a Fair for You Shopping Card, you can use it to shop for Trutex uniform just as you would any other payment method. Your pre-paid Mastercard is pre-loaded with your credit limit (between £50 and £350), and you repay at a pace that works for you.
Who is this for?
This is for any family who finds it difficult to access credit through mainstream lenders or standard Buy Now Pay Later options. Whether that's due to a limited credit history, financial vulnerability, or simply because the usual options don't work for you - Fair for You is designed to be genuinely accessible and fair. If you've struggled with uniform costs before, this could be a real help.
How do I sign up for a Fair for You card?
You can apply directly through Fair for You at fairforyou.co.uk. They'll carry out a quick eligibility check, and if approved, your Prepaid Fair for You card can be used at Trutex straight away.
How much does it cost to borrow through Fair for You?
Fair for You’s actual interest repayments are among the lowest in the affordable credit industry due to its model of only applying interest to the diminishing balance. The APR the company is obliged to state on its loan is 64.8%, however loans are designed to be paid back well before the year that the Annual in APR refers to. So a £100 loan with Fair for You, paying back £8.63 per week on-plan for 13 weeks has a total cost of borrowing of £106.68 (the actual interest you repay is 6.68%). If customers repay faster, then the total cost of borrowing goes down further. Different repayment scenarios can be explored on their handy calculator - https://www.fairforyou.co.uk/shopping-card. It's not free credit, but it is some of the most affordable credit available to people who need flexible payment options.
