Emric has offered the Nordic banking and financial market support systems and business advisory services for lending operations since the middle of the 1990s, including everything from simple blanco loans for private individuals to complex lending products aimed at businesses.
In 1994 the banking company E. Öhman J:or AB established the home loan institution Bokredit, which was sold in 1999 to Den Danske Bank, though it retained the systems developed to optimize the credit process and created a new company, Öhman Financial Systems, which eventually became Emric.
