An introduction to the Ikano Online Credit Approval
system
What is the Ikano Online Credit Approval system?
The Ikano Online Credit Approval system is the software used to process the Ikano credit applications
that are completed in your store. Customer data is captured directly into the online application form
and an instant credit decision will be returned for your customers.
Please note that some of the sections or instructions in this guide may not be applicable for the credit
products you offer.
Important: This credit facility does not accept applications to finance gift vouchers.
Minimum technical requirements
It is recommended that you have a compatible version of Internet Explorer (i.e. 7 or above) and the
latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your store computer.

When you receive your registration confirmation e-mail, you will be given an Ikano Online Credit
Approval program icon to save on your desktop. Simply double-click this icon when you wish to use
the Ikano Online Credit Approval software.

recent CCJs or defaults

HM Forces Personnel)
 is not unemployed
 is not aware of any significant changes which may adversely affect their ability to
continue making repayments in the future

application form, included in your registration pack or your paper application
pads. Please see Appendix A for instructions on how to phone in an
application.
Once the application has been processed and the paperwork signed, send to
the Ikano Bank.
Contact your local systems administrator for assistance.

Method)
There may be situations when the online application is unavailable. To ensure your customers are
able to apply for these credit products, simply complete the application PDF form and telephone Ikano
to process the customer’s details.
What is this form?
These are the Ikano Interest Free Credit application forms. They are in an electronic PDF format to
assist in entering customer details, rather than writing on a pre-printed form.
Where is this form?
They should be available as icons on your computer desktop. If you are unable to find the icons on
your computer desktop, please contact your Ikano Representative to ensure they email it across to
you
When do I use this form?
Use these forms when the online application is not available to process credit application forms.
How do I open this form?
They are opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe currently installed on your
computer, please check with your IT department before downloading it from this site:
http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/.
How do I know what fields I must fill in?

which fields are mandatory, simply click the “Highlight Fields” button in the upper left corner of the
window.

Ikano Online Credit Approval
User Guide v1.3
How do I navigate through this form?
There are two ways to move between fields on these forms:
 Use the tab key.
 Using the mouse, point to a field and click to enter information or to select a value from a drop
down list.
Can I change the loan amount or terms if the customer asks?
The loan amount and terms may be changed on the electronic forms as often as is necessary until the
agreement is printed, signed, and phoned into the Ikano Customer Service centre. Ensure the final
decision on the loan amount and term are confirmed with the customer before printing, signing, and
phoning in the application form. Note that the amounts on the SECCI must match those on the signed
agreements.
Once the agreement is in place, no changes can be made to the amount or term.
Why can’t I save the form with customer data?
These forms were constructed to comply with the Data Protection Act in the prevention of mishandling
a customer’s application details and to minimise the risk of any potential fraudulent activity.
To clear the application forms, click the “Reset Form” button in the upper right section of page 1, or by
closing the form and re-opening it. If the forms are closed in the middle of entering the customer’s
data, the information will be lost when the form is reopened and will need to be re-entered.

Ikano Online Credit Approval
User Guide v1.3
There are two ways to print the application forms:
 Click the printer icon in the upper left corner below the menu bar.
 Select Print from the File menu on your browser.
Each page on the application form is identified as either “Ikano Copy” or “Customer Copy”. This can

Printing Checklist
Hand the customer the SECCI (Pre-Contract). This is for them to keep and take home.

Confirm that the account number and application ID number in the relevant sections on the
printed form are correct.
Obtain the customer’s signature on the application and agreement form.

1. Contact the Ikano Customer Service centre to relay the application details and obtain an instant
credit decision; the number can be found in your retailer pack as well as at the bottom of the Ikano
Online Credit Approval screen. You will need to write down the account number and application ID
on top of the application. This is also when you can complete fields that require calculated
amounts, such as the Total Amount Payable.
2. Decision:
a) If the credit application is accepted, obtain the customer’s signature on the Credit
Agreement. You will also need to sign the agreement on behalf of Ikano; or
b) If the credit application cannot be processed that day mark down the application ID
reference number at the top of the application. After the application ID, write “/2” to indicate
a referral/2 decision, or write “/1” to indicate a referral/1 decision. Neither you nor the
customer is to sign the agreement forms. Inform the customer that he or she will need to
use an alternative payment method.
Post-Decision Checklist
Hand the customer their copy of the signed agreement as well as the Terms and
Conditions.
Place application form, and Ikano’s copy of the agreement form and terms and conditions,
in the Application Return Envelope and put them in the post at the end of each day.


PLEASE REMEMBER THE FORM CONTAINS SENSITIVE CUSTOMER DATA AND NEEDS TO BE
STORED SECURELY. If you are not able to post the forms immediately, please ensure that they are
kept in a secure, locked location at your store.
3. Clear the application form by clicking the “Reset Form” button in the upper right section of page 1,
or by closing the form and re-opening it.

User Guide v1.3
Appendix B –Suspicious customer behaviour
A customer applying for credit may be perpetrating fraudulent activity or may, themselves, have been
a victim of fraudulent activity.
What are the signs to identify a possible fraudulent applicant?
Customer appears nervous
Unsure of all their personal details
Is trying to hurry or distract you
Seeking confirmation of personal details via a mobile phone call
Request for high volumes of high value products
What can you do to help prevent someone committing fraud?
Always check the name on the Identification matches to the customer details (correct spelling)
Check that they are the correct gender to the name
Check the signatures match
Check Date of Birth on ID if available
Does the profile match the person in front of you (e.g. claiming 10 years at employer but they are 24
years old)
Scenario 1: Customer is genuine; however, application is referred.
An application that comes back as referral/1 may have been triggered by fraud flags against the
customer who has been the victim of fraud. An Ikano Customer Service agent will help you manage
this type of referred application when you phone it in.
Scenario 2: Code 10
If you believe a customer is attempting to complete a fraudulent loan application, complete the
application process as normal until the “submit” screen, there is a CODE 10 box to tick at the top of
the page. Once you have done that, you can then press the “Submit” button. The application will be
referred out, the fraud investigation team will look into the application further and will act accordingly.
The application will be considered “in progress”, so the Customer Service Agent will be able to
retrieve it and flag it in the system as Code 10.
The application will come back as a referral and Ikano will send the customer a letter.
