As of mid-2026, the cooperative has 298 members (282 municipalities and 16 regions) and operates through its wholly-owned credit market company Kommuninvest i Sverige AB. The organization holds AAA/Aaa credit ratings from S&P and Moody's and is the municipal sector's largest creditor, accounting for 60% of all loans municipalities take for welfare investments, with total outstanding lending of 563.9 billion SEK as of December 2025.

Kommuninvest's core products include green loans, social bonds, conventional bond-funded lending, and the KI Finans debt management platform used by municipalities to manage approximately 75% of the municipal sector's total loan volume.

Pricing is membership-based with competitive rates tied to loan terms and market conditions. The GTM motion combines direct enterprise relationship management through dedicated advisors and loan specialists with capital markets bond issuance managed through dealer banks including Barclays, BNP Paribas, and J.P. Morgan. Regulatory oversight is provided by Finansinspektionen, and Kommuninvest is a monetary policy counterparty to the Riksbanken.
