Credit Intermediaries Must Register with Finanstilsynet

Finanstilsynet mandates that all credit intermediaries must register with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority by 20 November 2026, significantly expanding previous light-touch regulations. Companies operating without registration by the deadline face fines or imprisonment of up to four months, while certain intermediaries will additionally fall under a new anti-money laundering regulation effective 10 July 2027. The authority clarifies that any business facilitating loan procurement or financing for purchased goods qualifies as a credit intermediary subject to these requirements.
