Short answer

A loan without UC takes the credit check from a company other than UC, for example Dun & Bradstreet or Creditsafe. It does not show at UC, and the lender still assesses whether you can repay. The rate is often higher: 6 of the 14 credits here are high-cost credit.

What “without UC” means

UC is the most common credit bureau in Sweden, but not the only one. The credits on this page take the check with Bisnode or Creditsafe or Dun & Bradstreet instead. It is still a credit check: the lender sees your finances and assesses whether you can repay.

The difference is where the check shows. The credit check itself does not show at UC. The loan can, however, be reported and show at UC later, and an unpaid debt can become a payment remark that shows everywhere.

Why the rate is often higher

Lenders that do not use UC mostly offer smaller unsecured loans and charge for the risk. Many of the credits here are above the line for high-cost credit, 32% effective rate.

Compare the effective rate and the total at the same amount and term, as in the list above. What the rate means in kronor is explained on the effective interest rate page, and you can work out your own amount in the loan calculator.

How to apply

Three steps:

  • Choose a lender or a broker in the list. The row shows the effective rate and the total for the amount you choose.
  • Apply once. A broker passes the application on to several banks; a direct lender assesses it itself.
  • Read the representative example before you sign. It shows the total cost of the loan, not only the monthly payment.

For a smaller amount, compare quick loans and credit lines. With a payment remark, there is a separate list.

Common questions about loans without UC

What is UC?

UC (Upplysningscentralen) is a credit bureau many Swedish banks use for credit checks. The companies on this page use another bureau instead.

Does the loan show at UC anyway?

The credit check itself does not show at UC. The loan can, however, be reported and show at UC later, and an unpaid debt can become a payment remark (betalningsanmärkning) that shows everywhere.

Why is the rate so high?

Lenders that do not use UC mostly offer small unsecured loans and charge for the risk. 6 of the 14 credits here are high-cost credit, with an effective rate of at least 32%.

Can I get a loan with no credit check at all?

No. A lender must assess whether you can repay before you get credit. The law requires it. What differs is which company the check comes from.

How many checks are too many?

There is no fixed limit. Several checks in a short time suggest that you are seeking credit in many places, and that can lower your creditworthiness whichever company makes the checks. Apply where the terms suit you and wait for the answer before you apply elsewhere.

Which credit bureaus are used instead of UC?

The credits here take the check with Bisnode or Creditsafe or Dun & Bradstreet. The company is stated on each row in the list.
