Interim report for the first nine months of 2012
Carsten Nøddebo, CEO, says: “We are pleased to see that an increasing number of customers choose loan types that offer more financial security. The percentage of very short-term FlexLån® loans of gross lending has thus come down from 32% to 12% over the past three quarters. At the same time, the number of new interest-only loans has fallen substantially.”
