Wasa Kredit AB

Wasa Kredit AB is a Swedish finance company within the Länsförsäkringar Group and a subsidiary of Länsförsäkringar Bank AB (publ), focused on asset finance for businesses and consumer credit distributed largely via partners. Its core offering includes leasing and hire purchase for vehicles, machinery and equipment to companies and sole traders, along with point‑of‑sale installment solutions through retailers and unsecured personal loans to private customers. Distribution is primarily through car dealers, equipment vendors and other resellers, complemented by digital application flows that typically use BankID for identification. Pricing is risk‑based and set individually following a credit assessment that usually involves a credit report from a Swedish bureau; set‑up and administration fees are common, and the effective cost depends on the combination of interest rate, fees and term. In leasing and hire‑purchase agreements, the financed asset normally serves as collateral, and agreements may include residual value, buyout options, usage limits and potential charges for excessive wear or mileage; early termination can entail additional costs. For consumer credit, early repayment is generally permitted under the Swedish Consumer Credit Act, with possible administrative and interest adjustment charges; payments are commonly made by autogiro or invoice, and paper invoices may carry a fee. Wasa Kredit does not take deposits and is therefore not covered by deposit insurance; it is supervised by Finansinspektionen and subject to Swedish consumer protection, AML and data protection rules. Customer service is available via phone and online channels, and complaints can be escalated internally and, if unresolved, to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN). Applicants should review pre‑contractual information and compare total credit costs across providers.
