If you have an account at Swedbank where the clearing number starts with the number 8 that has 8 or 9 account numbers, you need to add one or two zeros at the beginning of the account number, so that there are a total of 15 digits (including clearing numbers).
Example: CCCCC 0XXXXXXXXX
C = Clearing number, X = Account number
Lending
Why have I received a loan payment notice from Nordiska?
We provide private loans via partners. As we are a creditor in these cases, you must pay interest and repayments to us, even if the loan is administered by one of our partners. On the loan payment notice it is stated via which partner the loan comes from.
For any questions, you should first contact the partner through whom you took the loan. You can find their contact information on the loan payment notice and the Credit Agreement.
Why have you taken a credit report from me?
We will have taken a credit report if you have applied for a loan with one of our partners. As a credit institution, we are obliged to check your ability to repay the loan, this is important both for us and you. We all want to avoid being overly in debt and do not want you as a customer to have problems repaying the loan. We therefore collect the necessary information from a credit reporting company that we use to be able to determine your financial suitability to repay the loan.
Have we made a direct debit from your account?
We will only make a direct debit withdrawal if you are a customer of Nordiska and have made a direct debit consent.

Nordiska asks borrowers to please note that entering into loan agreements may put a strain on the borrower's private finances and that borrowers should therefore carefully consider and plan the use a loan.
