A different kind of bank

We're proud to to offer something different when it comes to banking; a unique approach with long-term thinking, all delivered with a truly bespoke service.

Established in 1871

Since being established in Sweden in 1871 we've been committed to ‘true banking activities’ with a focus on the local market. Arriving in the UK in 1982 we now have over 120 branches across the country ensuring that our customers can access us locally.

Decisions made by people

It's a unique approach to banking that puts decision-making with our branches, not a distant anonymous team. With an extensive branch network, customers benefit from knowledge of the market local to them.

A thoughtful man

Driven only by customer satisfaction

We don't set sales targets or bonuses, which means our colleagues are always focused on what's best for their customers - even when their advice or guidance doesn't generate a profit for the Bank.

Strong and steady

We’ve flourished through our prudent approach. Our solid capital position means we enjoy high credit ratings and as Europe’s safest commercial bank, we’re one of the best capitalised banks with substantial liquidity reserves.
