A concept of cooperation, togetherness and community
Why go to a bank when we can "produce" capital ourselves? With our farms and our forest as security, we can borrow money on good terms and lend it to ourselves on the same good terms. That's the concept behind Landshypotek's business.
This concept lets us avoid middlemen and external stockholders who want to profit from our interest payments. Instead, our members decide the principles for our business and determine how much to return as dividends on interest paid.
Credit Union and Stock Company (AB)
As a borrower from Landshypotek, you're also a member of Landshypotek Ekonomisk Förening credit union, where board members are chosen democratically. The credit union, in turn, owns all of the stock in Landshypotek AB, which is responsible for the main business activity and runs the day-to-day operations.
One member, one vote
Your influence in the credit union is entirely independent of the size of your loan. The rule is simple: one member, one vote. It's up to you how you want to use it.
Services that make your daily life easier
Both as a business operator and as a private individual you need more financial services than loans alone. That's why we collaborate with several partners who can offer you the banking and insurance services that are the most important to you. It's our complete solution for making your daily life a little bit easier.
