What do credit companies do?
Credit companies provide personal loans, instalment credit, credit cards and short-term business finance outside the classic bank branch, often online or at the point of sale. Their customers are households buying cars and appliances and businesses that need working capital, and lenders are licensed and supervised by financial regulators in most countries.
Our data comes from the business registers of 56 countries. SIC has no code of its own for credit companies: they sit in SIC major group 61 (non-depository credit institutions), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for consumer credit and mortgage lenders. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 74,602 of them (97%) sit in classes 64.92 (other credit granting) and 64.91 (financial leasing), part of division 64 (financial service activities, except insurance and pension funding).
