Loans in Finland for foreigners and expats

Foreigners living in Finland can apply for loans on largely the same terms as Finnish citizens – the key requirement is being an established resident. Lenders typically look for:

  • A Finnish personal identity code (henkilötunnus) – the ID number assigned to people registered in Finland.
  • A valid residence permit or proof of residency for non-EU citizens, confirming legal status for the loan term.
  • A registered address in Finland and often proof of it (e.g. a rental agreement or utility bill).
  • Regular, verifiable income – an employment contract or recent payslips.
  • Minimum age of 20 years for most consumer credit.

A longer residence and credit history in Finland generally improves the offers available. LuottoBotti lets you browse and compare offers anonymously before applying – the application is always made on the lender’s own site.

How to compare loans in Finland

To find the cheapest loan in Finland, don’t compare the nominal interest rate alone. The real cost is shown by the APR (todellinen vuosikorko), which includes interest and all fees. When comparing offers, check:

  • APR – the single best figure for the true cost of a loan.
  • Total repayable over the full term, not just the monthly instalment.
  • Fees – opening fees and monthly account fees add up.
  • Flexibility – whether you can repay early without extra cost.

By Finnish law every consumer-credit ad must show a representative APR example, so you can compare like for like.

Consumer loans are usually unsecured, but larger amounts may require a guarantor.
