Despite the overall decline, Finland had an increase. The Nordic market’s originations grew by 7.8%. This totaled €10,061,588 in Finnish loan originations.

The Dutch market has settled to a lower origination total after showing vast growth potential in the last few months. €2,462,152 worth of loans were originated in the Netherlands in September.
The Spanish market remains temporarily closed to new customer originations as we monitor data to change our internal risk-scoring models. We do this to ensure the best possible quality for our loan portfolio, which means a better investment experience for you. Our existing customers were the driving force behind the €97,905 worth of loan originations from September.
Finnish loans, once again, have the majority, with a dominant 67.2% share. The Dutch market keeps its second-largest share, with 16.4%. But Estonia follows in close third with 15.7% and Spain with 0.7%.
The average loan interest rate rose from 19.1% to 19.6%.
