About this statute

The provision says consumer loan businesses need authorization from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority to operate, and it defines the main terms and several exclusions from the law’s scope. Virksomheden skal have procedures for compliance with rules on fair business conduct, creditworthiness assessment, and identification of target groups. Applications for authorization must include the information needed for Finanstilsynet’s review and must normally be filed through Finanstilsynet’s self-service solution. Forbrugslånsvirksomheder must report to Finanstilsynet, follow fair business practice, assess creditworthiness, and keep a whistleblower channel; a 35 pct. APR cap and a 100 pct. total-cost limit also appear for certain consumer credit agreements. Finanstilsynet supervises consumer lending businesses and can require information, issue orders, remove board members or directors, revoke authorisations, and publish certain supervisory responses. The provision also imposes information-updating duties and confidentiality rules for people working for the supervisor.
