From local bank to Nordic leader
Nordea’s roots date back to 1820s Copenhagen, when a local savings bank first opened its doors for business. Over time, we have grown to become the leading financial institution in the Nordics, offering a wide range of financial services.

From Aarhus to Oulu
Across our four home markets of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden we serve a broad range of customer segments – from private households and small businesses to the largest Nordic enterprises.
We have a strong market position within our four business areas: Personal Banking, Business Banking, Large Corporates & Institutions and Asset & Wealth Management.
Driven by the idea of something better
Our values are deeply rooted in the open, progressive and collaborative Nordic societies. Nordea is a place where people are passionate about customers, collaborate across the organisation, feel a true sense of ownership and have the courage to do what is right.
