Membership Benefits
The Role of the NPA
Now that you are aware of the key requirements, it is time to consider what benefits there are to joining the NPA.
Membership of the National Pawnbrokers Association, the official body of the trade recognised by the Office of Fair Trading and Department of Trade and Industry, means joining the only trade association which specifically represents the interests of the pawnbroking industry throughout the UK. Membership lends reassurance to Government bodies and customers that the pawnbroker member is conducting business within the law and industry best practice.
Our detailed familiarity with all aspects of pawnbroking procedure and knowledge and years of experience in advising members how to remain compliant and commercial in an ever complex world of consumer credit laws, whilst trading freely, is an example of the way in which the NPA is able to assist both new and existing businesses.
