Information about the register

The Positive credit register is a register that collects data on private individuals’ credits and income. The purpose of the register is to:

  • prevent households from taking on too much debt;
  • improve the ability of creditors to assess the creditworthiness of credit applicants;
  • help private individuals manage their own finances;
  • provide reliable information on the credit market;
  • facilitate the monitoring and supervision of credit markets.

The operations of the Positive credit register are determined under the Act on the Positive credit register. The controller is the Incomes Register Unit of the Tax Administration.
