How to apply for leasing
Submit a leasing application once you have found a suitable vehicle. We recommend that you read SEB's terms and conditions of vehicle leasing before you submit an application.

There are several ways for submitting an application

• You can fill in an electronic application form in the Internet Bank or on the website.
• Fill in a leasing application when you visit a vehicle dealership that is a partner of SEB and they will help you sort out the leasing and send the required documents to SEB.
• Contact us if you would like to come to a branch for a consultation. Our Corporate Client Executive will contact you and make an appointment for a consultation.

You have to submit the following documents when applying:

• an application in electronic format or on paper
• audited annual report for the previous financial year
• balance sheet and income statement that are not older than 120 days
• Personal data sheet of surety, if you apply for a leasing together with the provider of surety
• vehicle sale offer
• valuation report and a copy of the certificate of registration if you are buying a vehicle and the seller is not our partner. The valuation report can be ordered from the official dealership of the relevant vehicle or from another vehicle leasing partner of SEB.

Entering into a leasing contract

• You can choose whether you want to sign the leasing contract in the dealership that is a partner of SEB or at an SEB branch when you agree in the leasing terms and conditions with the Corporate Client Executive.
• The seller has to come to the SEB branch to sign the sales contract if they are not a partner of SEB.

Collecting the vehicle

• Pay the agreed down-payment and contract fee.
• Register the vehicle in the name of AS SEB Liising. A seller who is a partner of SEB Liising registers the vehicle on your behalf. SEB Liising issues you with the power of attorney required for registration if you don't buy the vehicle from one of our partners.
• Take out comprehensive and motor third party liability insurance. Go to Insurance for further information.

The Corporate Client executive gives you a delivery and receipt certificate for collection of the vehicle, which must be signed and returned to SEB Liising after you have collected the vehicle.

If you use the insurance service, the price of the motor third party liability and comprehensive insurance services will not change even if insurance companies change their prices.
