Our verdict
Fairlo suits Swedish adults with a steady income who want a reusable credit line and money in minutes. Its 28.18% and 588 SEK make it costly for borrowing that runs long, and the strict eligibility rules rule out anyone with recent debt collection activity.

The company behind it

Frequently asked questions
What rate will I pay on a Fairlo credit line?+
The advertised rate is 28.18%, and it is variable rather than fixed, so it can rise or fall. The representative example on Fairlo's own terms uses a nominal variable rate, which is why the effective rate is higher than the headline number suggests.
Are there fees to set up a Fairlo loan?+
Yes. A setup fee of 588 SEK is charged when the credit line starts, and the representative example also carries a monthly fee. Borrowing for the full term means paying that monthly fee for every month you keep the credit open.
How much can I borrow and for how long?+
Loan amounts run SEK 3,000 to SEK 70,000, and the representative example uses a term of 72 months. A credit line lets you draw part of that limit and pay it back before drawing again, rather than taking the whole amount at once.
How fast is the money?+
Funding is real-time and usually lands within minutes, on Real-time, usually within minutes, 24/7. That speed suits an emergency, and the same-day funding listed in same day funding and credit line means you can apply and draw outside normal banking hours.
What credit check does Fairlo run?+
It is a hard credit check, as hard records, so a search is added to your credit file. Fairlo describes the credit you need as fair, which sits well below the top of the range.
Who can apply for a Fairlo loan?+
Applicants need a Swedish personal identity number, a minimum age, a registered Swedish address, mobile BankID, a Swedish bank account and a stated annual income. You also need no active debt balance at the Swedish Enforcement Agency, no recent enforcement attempts and no ongoing debt restructuring.
Can I repay a Fairlo loan early?+
Yes, early repayment is free, with no charge for clearing the balance ahead of schedule. That makes it worth paying down the credit line as soon as your income allows rather than carrying the monthly fee for longer than needed.
How do I get help from Fairlo?+
Support covers email, chat and phone, including phone, email, chat and a help centre. Phone and email are the most common routes for borrowers on comparison sites, so either works if you need an answer on a loan.
