Nordea received the following awards at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026:
• Best Bank in the Nordics
• Best Digital Bank in the Nordics
• Best Digital Bank for SMEs in the Nordics
The recognition reflects Nordea’s focus on improving customer journeys, supporting financial wellbeing and delivering secure, easy-to-use services. It also highlights the bank’s ability to combine scale, stability and innovation in order to create value for customers across the Nordic region.
The award for Best Digital Bank for SMEs in the Nordics underscores Nordea’s ambition to be the preferred financial partner for small and medium-sized businesses:
“SMEs are the backbone of the Nordic economy, and we want to be the partner that helps them succeed,” says Henri Arvela, Head of Corporate Digital at Nordea. “By creating seamless digital services, we help businesses spend less time dealing with administration and more time focusing on growth. Receiving this recognition is something we’re very proud of.”
The Euromoney recognition follows earlier recognition from The Banker, which awarded Nordea for its financial health offering, further highlighting the bank’s commitment to helping customers make informed financial decisions and build long-term financial resilience.
