Vehicle leasing

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.

Service lease

Service lease is suitable for you if you would like to use your time and money rationally and want the costs associated with the vehicle to be known in advance and divided between the leasing payments.

Motor third party liability and comprehensive insurance
We make sure that the vehicle is covered with motor third party liability and comprehensive insurance from collection until the end of the leasing contract.
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.

Insured event handling
We represent you in handling your claim after an insured event. Inform us of all events within the required deadline by calling the 24 h service lease helpline. A representative of SEB will come to help you prepare the documents that need to be submitted to the insurance company, negotiate with the insurance company and agree in the terms and conditions of vehicle repairs.
The fee for the service is contained in the leasing payment and is fixed for the entire leasing period. We offer the 24 h vehicle breakdown service free of charge with the insured event handling service.

We give you a fuel card with a monthly limit, which allows you to benefit from the discount offered to SEB when you buy fuel. We add the cost of the purchases made with the fuel credit card to the subsequent leasing payment.

Replacement car
We offer a replacement vehicle in the case of insured events, repairs and other occurrences when the obstacle that prevents you from using the vehicle lasts longer than 24 hours.
We generally provide the service within the territory of Tallinn. The cost of the service is divided between leasing payments.
