Leasing contracts
Leasing contracts are
- loan contracts under which a product transfers to your possession and may become yours when the contract expires.
The loan contract usually states that during the lease period, you will pay the price of the subject and any expenses collected on the loan. Please note:
- A hire-purchase agreement according to which you pay a monthly instalment for a car, for example, for a certain agreement period, after which the finance company or car dealer is committed to buying the car back from you, is not a loan reportable to the register as leasing. Such hire-purchase agreements are reported to the register as lump-sum loans.
- In addition, rental agreements according to which a monthly rent is paid for a car, for example, for a certain period of time are not leasing contracts reportable to the register.
Further, only leasing contracts that you have concluded in the capacity of consumer are reported to the register. In other words, leasing contracts you may have concluded for your business operations are not reported, and neither is business leasing.
The data content that lenders report on leasing contracts is slightly different from the content reported on other loans. Below you will find a more detailed description of the information about your leasing contracts shown in our e-service.
- Loan number
- The loan number is a unique loan identifier created by the lender.
- Loan contract concluded
- The date of conclusion is the date when you and the lender concluded a binding contract.
- Peer-to-peer loan
- The lender reports to the register whether they have brokered the loan as a peer-to-peer loan broker. Brokering of a peer-to-peer loan refers to a situation where a private individual, for example, borrows money to another private individual through a company acting as a peer-to-peer loan broker.
- Start date of the contract period
- The start date of the contract period is agreed on between you and the lender. If you have not agreed on the start date, the start date of the contract period is the date when the contractual rights and obligations of the lender and debtor become effective.
Name for marketing purposes
- The lender reports its own marketing name or auxiliary business name to the register. ‘Marketing name’ here refers to the name that the lender uses for the purposes of marketing.

Here you can see the number of debtors in your loans.
