Working at H&T Pawnbrokers

About Us - More Than Meets The Eye

Pawnbroking may not be at the top of everyone’s list for their next career move. But, perceptions can be deceiving and there’s a lot more to us than meets the eye.

H&T began serving communities around London in 1897. Since then, we have expanded to become one of the most established and leading alternative finance providers in the UK.

We offer a broad range of products to our customers that include pawnbroking, foreign exchange, gold buying, cheque cashing, and retail.

Since 2006, H&T has accelerated its development by adding new products and services, expanding the store network and developing a complete online service. Our continued investment in the business and the communities we serve has resulted in us growing to become one of the leading providers in the UK with over 280 stores nationwide.

In August 2025, H&T Group was acquired by FirstCash Holdings Inc. FirstCash is a leading international operator of pawn stores and provider of technology-driven point-of-sale payment solutions, focused on serving cash and credit-constrained consumers. The Acquisition represents FirstCash's entry into the UK pawnbroking market.

We believe everyone should be given choices in how to deal with their financial needs. We endeavour to provide the best service and the broadest choice of financial solutions for the widest group of people.

Most of all our customers love us, check out our Trustpilot reviews and see for yourself.

What’s a pawnbroker I hear you ask?
