BKR (the Dutch credit register) registration: how it works

A BKR registration is not a blacklist but a record. What it says and for how long determines whether you can obtain a new loan or mortgage.

In brief

Please note: borrowing money costs money. The BKR (the Dutch credit register) keeps a record of consumer credit. Almost every provider with an AFM licence is required to check it before granting credit.

That duty to check applies to credit from a certain threshold and with a term longer than one month. Providers advertising loans without a BKR check generally do not hold that licence.

Alongside current credit, a code may be added where there have been payment problems. Registrations remain visible for a number of years after repayment. That is not a punishment but information for the next lender.

What does BKR registration involve and how does it work?

The structure of the cover in three parts, with an overview per situation below.

The record

What it contains

Current and repaid credit from recent years.

  • Personal loans
  • Revolving credit
  • Mobile phone contracts above a threshold
Where there are arrears

Codes

A note where there have been payment problems.

  • Notification of arrears
  • Notification of recovery
  • Visible after repayment
Referral

What we do

We do not advise or broker on credit.

  • No credit advice
  • General insurance, yes
  • Referral to authorised firms

What is covered

SubjectWith usWith the credit provider
Access to your own registrationNoNo
A check when you apply for creditNoYes
Advice on the form of loan and the termNoYes
Personal non-life insuranceYesNo
Business insuranceYesNo
Removal of a justified registrationNoNo

This overview is general in nature and is not personal advice. What is actually covered, including exclusions, limits and the excess, is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) of the insurer; you receive both before you take out cover. Taking out cover without advice? Then read what execution only means for you.

Where things go wrong in practice

Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.

You request access from the BKR yourself

You have a right of access to your own data. You arrange that directly with the BKR, not through an intermediary. If anything is incorrect, the lender that made the entry corrects it. The BKR changes nothing on its own initiative.

Borrowing without BKR (the Dutch credit register) does not exist here

Licence holders in the Netherlands are required to check for credit above the threshold with a term longer than one month. Anyone advertising loans without a BKR check is generally operating without a licence or from abroad. That is not an opportunity but a warning sign.

A refusal is information

The check exists to prevent over-borrowing. If you are refused, that says something about whether the payments are affordable given your income and fixed outgoings. Carrying on looking for a provider that will say yes is usually the most expensive route.

Agencies that promise removal

A justified registration cannot simply be removed. Agencies that promise this for a fee can only submit a request that you could make yourself. Where a registration is incorrect, correction is possible, but that runs through the lender.

What does your premium depend on?

  • Personal non-life insurance: home, motoring, liability
  • Home and contents
  • Traffic: car, motorcycle, scooter and more
  • Legal expenses: disputes
  • Business insurance: for business owners
  • Property: let property

Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

How we arrange it

  1. You request a quoteWe take stock of your situation, your risk and your wishes.
  2. We compareseveral insurers, on premium as well as conditions.
  3. You receive a proposalWith an explanation of the differences and the exclusions.
  4. We arrange the switchIncluding cancellation, so there is no gap in cover.

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

Is the BKR a blacklist?

No, it is a record of current and repaid credit. A code is only added where there have been payment problems.

Can I borrow without a BKR check?

In the Netherlands, in practice no. Licence holders are required to check; providers claiming otherwise usually do not hold that licence.

How long does a registration stay on file?

Even after repayment a registration remains visible for a number of years. That is information for the next lender, not a punishment.

How do I request access?

Directly from the BKR. If anything is incorrect, the lender that made the entry corrects it.

Can I have a registration removed?

Not a justified one. Where a registration is incorrect, correction is possible through the lender. You do not need a paid agency for that.

Does Finass provide loans?

No. We advise and act as brokers on general insurance only and refer you to providers holding an AFM licence.
