Who are we?

We are the association behind Nykredit and Totalkredit. We aim to secure homeowners stable mortgage loans all over Denmark – now and in future.

Our object is to be the principal shareholder of the Nykredit Group, which includes Nykredit Realkredit, Nykredit Bank and Totalkredit. In our capacity of principal shareholder, we ensure that the Group carries on financially sustainable mortgage lending and other financial business for the benefit of its customers.

The ultimate authority of Forenet Kredit is the Committee of Representatives, which is composed of 104 members. Our members come from all parts of Denmark and are elected by and among the electoral groups: personal customers, business customers, bondholders and Group staff.

Ownership

Forenet Kredit is the principal shareholder of the Nykredit Group, whose activities include mortgage lending through the Totalkredit alliance.

Nykredit is the leading lender in Denmark and has provided home loans to the Danish people since 1851. The loans are mainly mortgage loans – a unique type of loan in Denmark.

As Denmark’s leading lender, we have a great responsibility. Moreover, as principal shareholder of the Nykredit Group, Forenet Kredit’s primary task is to preserve this highly efficient system for raising home loans.

See Nykredit’s ownership structure and organisational chart on Nykredit’s website.

Background

The co-operative movement has always been the core element of the association Forenet Kredit. It dates back to 1851 when the first Danish mortgage associations were formed.

In 1972, 16 of these associations merged into Forenede Kreditforeninger and Jyllands Kreditforening. Forenet Kredit was formed by a merger of these two associations in 1985.

In 1991, we decided to organise our mortgage lending business in a separate public limited company to ensure the best terms for Nykredit’s customers.

When Nykredit acquired Totalkredit in 2003 from a number of local and regional banks, Totalkredit customers could not initially become members of Forenet Kredit. This was changed in 2014 so that both customers of Nykredit Bank A/S and of Totalkredit A/S could become members.

In September 2016, the Committee of Representatives resolved to amend the Articles of Association and the election rules so that, in future, it will be easier for Totalkredit’s customers to participate in the elections to the Committee of Representatives. If a customer wants to become a candidate, supporter or voter, he or she will become a member of Forenet Kredit as soon as we receive his or her signed candidate statement or supporter form or when the customer applies for a voter card.

Change of name to Forenet Kredit

The new name, Forenet Kredit, embraces both the customers of Totalkredit and Nykredit. The name change is one of a number of the elements related to the Association’s strategy of gaining a clearer and more independent profile.
