The Department and the British Business Bank continue to work with lenders to identify and address all types of fraud perpetrated through the Covid Loan Schemes. For example, under the Bank’s Guarantee Assurance Analytics programme, BBLS lenders are investigating several thousand facilities with potential data inconsistencies, including regarding incorporation dates.

We are unable to disclose the rates of indicators of suspected fraud by individual lender at this time due to the commercially sensitive nature of this information.

Full lists of all accredited lenders as at scheme closures on 31 March 2021 are as follows:
