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.
