3. About the credit

Flex Credit is an overdraft facility without security that gives the Debtor the right to use the credit space granted to the Debtor at a certain time. The Debtor applies for Flex Credit by following the steps in the App. Upon application, P.F.C. verifies that the Debtor meets the basic requirements for Flex Credit. If the Debtor meets the requirement and the credit is approved, the Debtor receives information about the Credit Limit granted. The Credit Limit is either 5 000 SEK or 10 000 SEK. The Debtor automatically uses the Flex Credit when transactions are charged to the Debtor’s P.F.C. balance when the P.F.C-balance is too low to cover the full amount of the transaction.  Flex Credit can be used for the following transactions: card purchases at merchants, costs for Subscription Service, interests and expenses.
