                                While UK law poses no legal restrictions on non-UK citizens obtaining credit, getting a loan in the UK as a foreigner is certainly possible but can be more challenging due to stricter eligibility criteria. The biggest hurdle for many is the lack of a UK credit history, which most mainstream lenders rely on heavily.
