A new Nordic survey commissioned by Sambla reveals clear differences in how households in Sweden, Finland and Norway are approaching the financial challenges of winter. Swedes are the least worried, Finns are the most likely to tighten their household budgets, and Norwegians are the most concerned about interest rates and borrowing costs.
There are still plenty of winter jobs available for anyone hoping to spend the season at a Swedish ski resort. Almost 400 vacancies for seasonal roles in mountain tourism have been advertised on the Swedish Public Employment Service’s Platsbanken job platform since the summer - 15 percent more than last year. Northern Lights guide and reindeer herder are two examples of roles still open.
Sambla is taking the next step in its journey from loan broker to a broader personal finance partner. Through a new partnership with Stockholm-based tech company Gokind, Sambla’s customers will gain access to tools that make it easier to understand income, expenses and cost categories directly within Sambla’s service.
Youth unemployment in Sweden decreased slightly during the third quarter. However, significantly more young men than women are unemployed, and in almost one in four municipalities there are no vacancies in occupations that do not require formal education. This is shown in a new compilation from Sambla Group.
Sambla Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Martin Hjärne as Chief Compliance Officer. The appointment further strengthens Sambla Group’s regulatory capabilities at an important stage in the company’s development, as Sambla Group is now a licensed credit market company.
Sambla Group is joining Tekniksprånget, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA’s, national internship programme that gives young people the opportunity to experience what it is like to work as an engineer. This autumn, Sambla Group is welcoming three interns to its Product & Tech organisation, where they will work with areas such as product development, data science, AI and IT.
For many Swedish households, a car is an essential part of everyday life, but buying one is also one of the larger private investments people make. Sambla Sweden is now launching Sambla Vehicle Loans, a financing solution that makes it possible to apply for a loan directly in connection with the vehicle purchase and then track and manage the loan in the Sambla app.
