30.03.202608:30:00UTC+00UK Net Lending to Individuals Rises to £6.8B in February 2026

Net lending to individuals in the United Kingdom increased in February 2026, with the indicator reaching £6.8 billion, up from £5.9 billion in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 30 March 2026, point to a continued expansion in household borrowing.

The month-on-month rise of £0.9 billion suggests stronger demand for credit among UK consumers, which may reflect increased spending, refinancing activity, or a shift in household balance sheet decisions. While the data do not specify the breakdown between consumer credit and mortgage lending, the aggregate uptick signals that individuals are drawing more on external financing compared with the start of the year.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether February’s increase marks the beginning of a sustained trend in consumer borrowing or a short-term fluctuation within the broader credit cycle.
