Get there the safe way
The safest way to reach any finance site is to type the address yourself — credicorp.co.uk — or use a bookmark you saved from the real site. Following a link from an email, text or search advert is how people land on convincing fakes. Type it, and you skip that risk entirely.
Check the address bar
Read the address carefully. Fakes use look-alikes: extra words (credicorp-secure.co.uk), different endings (credicorp.co.uk vs credicorp.net), or subtle misspellings. The genuine domain is credicorp.co.uk. Look at the part just before the first single slash — that's the real domain, whatever comes after.
The padlock helps, but isn't proof
A padlock in the address bar means the connection is encrypted — good, but it only tells you no one can eavesdrop, not that the site is genuine. Scam sites can have padlocks too. So use the padlock alongside checking the exact address, not instead of it.
If something's off
If the address looks wrong or the page behaves oddly, don't sign in. Close it, type credicorp.co.uk yourself, and if it was a fake pretending to be us, report it via reporting suspected fraud. See also checking a link and spotting phishing.
Frequently asked questions
Does a padlock mean a site is safe?
It means the connection is encrypted, not that the site is genuine — scam sites can show padlocks too. Always check the exact address as well.

credicorp.co.uk. Be wary of look-alikes with extra words, different endings or misspellings. Reach us by typing the address or using a saved bookmark.
