Welcome to Sweden
Many countries have coffee breaks, but in Sweden we have “fika”. Taking a break from reinventing banking to socialise with each other is sometimes exactly what’s needed. And it’s more than just a break. Just ask our colleagues!

Sweden is one of our home markets and with many customers to serve, you’ll find branches all across the country, supported by our contact centres that provide 24-hour service and advice. Both of our head offices are located in Stockholm, one in the city centre and the other in Lindhagen.
Activity-based working is an integral part of Nordea's workplace culture for employees based in head offices and for some based in branches. Activity-based work means the freedom to choose where and how to work depending on the task at hand. It also means there are no fixed desks and our people are empowered to make their own decisions on how to approach their work each day.
This way of working enables increased collaboration, knowledge sharing and social interaction with colleagues. It also supports Nordea's transition to working agile. Additionally, it allows us to optimise the use of space, which reduces cost as well as our environmental footprint.
