Nordea Finance Erämaksu is a valuable addition to your online store's payment selection. Erämaksu is an unsecured fixed-term one-time loan intended for larger online purchases of €500–30,000. The consumer customer applies for Erämaksu's credit decision at the online store's checkout.

  • When installment payment is used as a payment method in the online store and the amount of the purchase is at least €500, the consumer customer can choose installment payment as the payment method at your online store's checkout. The amount of loan granted corresponds to the price of the purchase and cannot exceed €30,000.
  • Instead of a regular payment transaction, the customer can quickly apply for a credit decision directly at checkout. To apply, the customer needs a Finnish online banking identifier or mobile certificate. Customers of all banks can apply for installment payment.
  • An order paid by installment is ready for shipping in the online store's admin panel. Nordea Finance will settle the payment on the first banking day after shipping.

The instalment payment is granted by the lender Nordea Finance Finland Ltd, business ID 0112305, address Aleksis Kiven katu 9, Helsinki, 00020 Nordea.

Pricing

Erämaksu is a free payment method for the merchant, with a reasonable interest rate for a retail customer (8% + 3-month Euribor) and an account management fee determined by the amount of credit (up to €9/month) without any opening or annual fees. The customer can at any time pay off the loan at no additional cost.

The account management fee depends on the amount of credit as follows:
