The guarantor loans provider outlines plans to finally resume new lending, after a hiatus of about two years, though under a new brand name. Amigo plans to lend under the RewardRate brand, offering two types of financing - a guarantor loan and a personal loan. No new lending will take place under the Amigo brand, the company said. Amigo had paused all lending in November 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It had then agreed with the UK Financial Conduct Authority that it would not lend again with regulatory approval.
