What is Finansinspektionen (Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority)?
In short
Finansinspektionen is the Swedish authority that licenses and supervises banks, lenders and payment firms.
Sweden's financial watchdog: the public authority that licenses banks, lenders and payment firms so you can check who is allowed to lend. Anyfin, Arcadia Finans, Klarna, Moank and Northmill Bank all sit inside the same market, and each should publish the authority's name with its licence details. A licence check tells you the firm is supervised; it says nothing about the price you will pay, so read the fees separately.
