Report on Inspection at Nykredit Realkredit A/S
The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority issued an inspection report on Nykredit Realkredit A/S mandating corrective actions regarding its handling of mortgage lending to properties with limited buyer pools and alternative use cases. The regulator found that Nykredit's credit policies, business processes, and management reporting inadequately address the heightened collateral risks, lack explicit identification criteria, and fail to align approval decisions with actual customer equity and property valuation discrepancies. Consequently, the Authority has ordered the institution to implement comprehensive policy updates, enhance risk identification procedures, and ensure management reporting accurately reflects the volume and compliance status of these high-risk exposures.
