SEB’s leadership position confirmed in Prospera’s Institutional Banking 2022 survey in Nordic countries

(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 11-Jan-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (STO: SEB-A) (SEB), a Swedish financial group leader on the Nordic market, has announced that it has been ranked as the best bank by Nordic financial institutions in Prospera’s Institutional Banking 2022 survey for the second year in a row. The survey was based on interviews with 181 asset managers, insurance companies, banks and hedge funds in the Nordic countries, who ranked their banking relationships in ten different categories, which were then weighed together for an Overall Performance score. The score of SEB improved from 3.93 to 4.04 and the bank achieved the top ranking overall in the Nordic countries, it received a number one ranking among smaller institutions (Tier 2) and number two among larger institutions (Tier 1). Ann Magnusson, Head of Institutional Banking, has expressed her happiness and pride in regards to the results of this survey.

“We are grateful and humbled to receive such high scores from our customers. It means a lot! We are always trying to improve the way we work, and this survey confirms that our customers appreciate it,” says Adam Gavel, head of Institutions Coverage in Institutional Banking.

Looking at the various sub-areas, SEB earned top scores in seven of the ten categories. These pertained to personal contacts, understanding customers’ banking needs, financial expertise, service attitude, a coordinated offer and access to specialists, strategic advice and customised solutions, and sustainability support.

As for the various markets, SEB consolidated its solid leadership position in Sweden and earned second place rankings in Norway, Denmark and Finland.

“We laid out a plan a few years ago to work with a more Nordic approach across the board,” says Adam Gavel. “Instead of focusing on each country itself, we are trying to bring a Nordic angle in all our advice and analysis, and we are cooperating much, much more between the Nordic sites. The fact that we have now been ranked one or two in all countries is proof that this is working.”

The Prospera survey for 2022 shows that for the second year in a row, SEB earned a top ranking in the Nordics from both large corporates and financial institutions. SEB also received a high ranking in the real estate segment.

“This shows that we at SEB are good at working with customers no matter what segment. It’s a great strength when we are talking with our customers,” Adam says.
