Our work also includes security and crime prevention, sustainability, and community engagement. We are committed to creating long-term value for our customers, employees, and society as a whole. Our purpose is to positively shape the future, with responsible advice and capital. Today and for generations to come.

Crime prevention
Financial crime is a threat to all of society, and it constantly seeks new ways to exploit banks and bank customers. This is why crime prevention is a vital part of our business. We work relentlessly to strengthen our defences, and cooperate closely with authorities, police and other banks in this endeavour.
