What T Dot UK does

T Dot UK Limited is a UK-based finance affiliate network and registered credit broker operating from Bournemouth, England. Founded in 2015, the company operates a two-sided digital marketplace connecting affiliates (publishers, bloggers, content creators) with advertisers (financial lenders and credit providers) in the UK market. Its core product is an affiliate network platform that facilitates lead generation for consumer loans between £100 and £1,000, acting as an intermediary rather than a lender.

The company's platform is built around customisable lead generation forms, sub-account level performance tracking, and cookie-based first-party attribution (tracking subaccount, source, referrer, keyword, and uuid parameters) to attribute conversions back to originating affiliates. It supports multiple commission structures including pay-per-lead, pay-per-click, and pay-per-sale, with pricing varying by lead type and quality (exclusive leads command $50-100+, phone leads $150+, aged leads lower). Weekly payouts are offered via BACS, CHAPS, and Wire Transfer, alongside a 3% lifetime referral bonus programme for affiliates who recruit new participants. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (reference 688026) and registered with the ICO (ZA128431).

The business model is transaction-based: T Dot UK earns commission spreads on lead transactions flowing between its affiliate and advertiser base. It claims 'hundreds of advertisers' and over 40 named financial lender partners, with named partners including Moneyboat, Lendingstream, Cashfloat, Monevo, Loans 2 Go, Quid Market Loans, Loqbox, and Credit Spring. Distribution is primarily UK-domestic through direct website sign-up, dedicated account managers, and industry events such as Affiliate Huddle. The company operates with a very lean team of 1-10 employees and has not disclosed external funding or institutional investors.
