Räntetak på marknaden för högkostnadskrediter : Intressenters påverkan av förväntade effekter

Sammanfattning: The Swedish financial market for instant loan companies (paydayloan companies), has like in other countries gained a lot of criticism from media. Criticism is mainly due to reports of the number of increased claims for payment orders and due to increasing numbers of people getting into debts, but also as a basis for unfair costs. In Finland, a new law was introduced to improve consumer protection in 2013. The act has inspired the Swedish government to appoint the investigation SOU 2016:68, which, like the law introduced in Finland, has proposed, an interest rate limit for instant loans. The purpose of the paper is to provide a broader picture on how stakeholders of the instant loan credit market views and are expected to be affected by the law change suggestion from investigation SOU 2016:68. The method that has been used is of a qualitative approach, with interviews as a primary source and quantitative data as a secondary source. A survey was sent out to companies from a branch organization on the market of instant loans as well as interviews with concerned authorities.
