Report on thematic inspection of housing finance approvals at AL Sydbank A/S
The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority conducted a thematic inspection of AL Sydbank A/S’s housing finance approvals and identified two unsound loans and deficiencies in 18 of 49 sampled cases regarding disposable income calculations, future financial assessments, and data accuracy. The regulator issued a binding order requiring the bank to establish sound and comprehensive decision-making frameworks that accurately assess customer affordability and future finances to prevent flawed approvals. The bank had previously self-identified the two unsound approvals and agreed with the findings, while the inspection confirmed no changes to the bank’s solvency requirements.
