“Can a 15-person specialist Norwegian credit institution modernise its core banking infrastructure to scale commercial real estate lending and covered bond issuance without growing its headcount?”
Eiendomskreditt was founded in 1997 as a standalone Norwegian credit institution focused on commercial real estate financing. In 2009 it pivoted into capital markets by becoming Norway's first issuer of covered bonds (OMF) backed by commercial real estate, allowing it to fund its loan book via bond markets rather than traditional deposits. The company remains a niche specialist lender with only 15 employees, serving property developers and housing cooperatives across Norway. In 2026 it announced a core banking modernisation project using Mambu and Knowit to replace its legacy platform, signalling a shift toward scalable cloud infrastructure to support future growth.
Eiendomskreditt discloses Mambu as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
