The register will be expanded – participate in our stakeholder event in September and study the instructions
6/17/2024The Positive credit register will be expanded to include all loans related to private businesses. In the first stage, consumer credits and loans comparable to them were reported to the register. In the second stage, starting 1 December 2025, lenders start reporting loans granted to private individuals other than consumers. The work needed to expand the register has started, and we will organise a stakeholder event about this in the first half of September. The technical documentation and instructions needed will be published in August.
Preparations needed
Lenders should prepare for the expansion of the register in good time. In the second stage of the Positive credit register’s rollout, lenders will start reporting loans other than consumer credits granted to private individuals. Such credits include, for example, loans that business operators have taken out for their business activities. Loans granted to legal persons will not be reported to the register. The reporting starts on 1 December 2025. The reported data can be used when a customer applies for a new business loan starting 1 April 2026.
You can start planning and development in August, so make sure you have sufficient technical and human resources available. Note that you need time to study the documentation and instructions, make plans and prepare for the testing.

You can also subscribe to our newsletter to receive information about our current issues and events.
