Press release – Danderyd, Sweden – October 15, 2026
The Board has appointed Malin Önnby, Kreditz’s former Chief Commercial Officer, as CEO.
Kreditz provides real-time credit and risk intelligence to banks, lenders and financial institutions across Europe. By combining data from multiple sources with advanced analytics, the company helps its customers make faster and more accurate decisions. Kreditz serves banks, financial institutions, and lenders across multiple European markets, and is regulated both as an Account Information Service Provider (AISP) under the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and as a licensed credit bureau through its subsidiary, Kreditz Data Sweden AB.
As CCO and Interim CEO, Malin Önnby has played a central role in the company's commercial development, strengthening relationships with leading Nordic banks and lenders and sharpening the company's commercial strategy. Her appointment marks an important step in Kreditz's continued growth, with a focus on expanding its credit risk and fraud prevention services and helping customers meet new regulatory requirements across Europe, including the Consumer Credit Directive 2 (CCD2), the revised payment services framework (PSD3 and PSR), and Financial Data Access (FiDA).
"Demand for real-time insights has never been stronger. Regulation such as CCD2, the rapid growth of fraud, and fully digital customer journeys that require answers in seconds make Kreditz's products more relevant than ever. With real-time data, our customers make better credit decisions, faster. I am proud of the trust placed in me to lead the company as we now take the next step in our journey," says Malin Önnby, CEO of Kreditz.
