Regulation – TrustBuddy Country Developments
28
Norway TB is not allowed to do business in Norway without registration at the FSA, but Norwegians are allowed to use TB’s services. Norwegian FSA has recognised that they can not refuse Norwegian citizens of using TB services.
Sweden New regulations from 1st of July 2015. The new regulations require a license for TrustBuddy and other similar businesses. TB will have until the 31st of December to apply for the license. In the preparation of the new regulations in Sweden, the Swedish FSA has discussed both interest on interest and restrictions against renewal fees, but they decided not to make any changes with the new regulation.
Finland New regulations in 2013 that subjects payday lenders to restrictions on interest they can add on loans (effective 50% APR). As a P2P platform, TB is not under this regulation for now, since TB is not considered to give "consumer loans". There have been court cases about whether loans should fall under the new regulation but the most recent court verdicts rule against this approach. A few have been concluded different but they were successfully appealed.
Denmark On the 23rd of June 2014, TBDY received a written statement from the Danish financial authorities classifying the TB activity in Denmark as coming in under Danish credit regulations. Finanstilsynet instructed that TBDY should be brought in compliance with local regulation before the end of August 2014, giving TBDY sufficient time to adjust. TB has come to an agreement with the Danish FSA that TB can continue to operate the platform in Denmark, but that funding cannot come from Danish lenders, so the funding has to come from lenders outside Denmark. TB has appealed the decision of the Danish FSA. This decision is only for short-term lending and does not apply to longer-dated consumer loans nor SME loans.
Spain Spain is working on new regulations for P2P and crowd funding, and it will probably be adopted by the end of this year. In preparation TB is in the final stages in updating its business model, T&C's and webpage to comply with the new regulations.
Poland Authorities have briefly started to discuss changes to applicable regulations, including discussion in connection with an interest cap, but it is too early to say what the outcome will be.
Italy Operate under a 106 license for longer dated consumer loans. TB cannot offer the short term loan product in Italy, since there are a maximum interest rate of 18% APR.
Netherlands Operate under credit license for SME and consumer loans. TB cannot offer the short term loan product in the Netherlands, since there are a maximum interest rate of 15% APR.
