Detailed Review
Finn.no is the Norwegian classifieds site. Its user terms name Vend Marketplaces AS, Grensen 5/7 in Oslo, as owner of the FINN channels.
Vend is the marketplaces business that Schibsted split off in 2024. FINN counts as European here because of Norway's EEA membership, not EU membership.
Who owns FINN.no?
Vend Marketplaces AS owns the FINN channels, and the fetched user terms give organisation number 981 159 772.
A search snippet showed 981 759 772 instead, so the Brønnøysund register should settle which digit is right.
Is FINN.no inside the EU?
No. Norway is an EEA state and applies GDPR through the EEA agreement, but the country is outside the EU. That differs from Germany, Austria or the Netherlands in this list.
Limitations to Consider
Seller fees on FINN are not verified, the organisation number shows a conflict between two sources, and hosting is unchecked.
Who Should Use FINN.no
Norwegian-speaking users and EEA residents comfortable with a Norwegian vendor that is not an EU company.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Owner named in the user terms
- Part of the Vend group after the Schibsted separation

Cons
