Examples of krediidipidajad include banks, credit unions, other financial institutions, as well as individuals or companies that have provided goods or services on credit. The relationship between the krediidipidaja and the debtor is governed by contracts and relevant laws, outlining the repayment schedule, interest rates, and consequences for non-payment. Managing credit and ensuring timely repayment are primary functions for any entity acting as a krediidipidaja.
