About Danske Hypotek

Danske Hypotek AB 

Danske Hypotek is a wholly owned Swedish subsidiary of Danske Bank A/S. In the middle of 2017 the company received permissions from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to conduct business as a credit market company and to issue covered bonds.


The primary purpose of the company is to create long-term stable financing with regard to Swedish mortgage loans. The Swedish branch’s long-term growth in Sweden is supported through the company’s access to the Swedish benchmark market for covered bonds. This way, the best possible conditions are created for the Swedish branch to offer long-term competitive lending to Swedish mortgage loan customers and owners of residential properties in Sweden.

 

Danske Hypotek acquires Swedish mortgages from Danske Bank A/S, which are secured by Swedish real property (fastigheter), site leasehold rights (tomträtter), tenant-owner rights (bostadsrätter) and multi-family houses (flerfamiljshus) and funds these assets with the continuous issuance of covered bonds, primarily in the Swedish benchmark-market. The company has also established a covered bond program for potential issuance in the international market. The acquired mortgages are included in the company’s Cover Pool and comply fully or in part with the requirements under the Covered Bonds Act. The company may also hold Supplemental Assets, and Public Credits can be used as supplemental security in accordance with the Covered Bonds Act.
