Regulatory AlertsRegulations and General Guidelines Regarding Mortgage Business
Finansinspektionen issued these regulations to implement the Swedish Mortgage Business Act and EU Directive 2014/17/EU by mandating authorization for non-credit institutions issuing or brokering consumer mortgages while maintaining specific operational and consumer protection standards. The rules establish detailed requirements for business conduct, staff competence, and manager qualifications, explicitly aiming to elevate consumer safeguards in the mortgage market. Subsequent amendments update regulatory references to align with Sweden’s Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act and require mortgage intermediaries to notify the authority of business changes within the EEA.
