SEB is increasing its investments as Fintech company Tink is raising EUR 56m to finance the expansion of its Open Banking platform in Europe. 

The operating result, before items affecting comparability, for 2018 was SEK 22.8bn (22.7) and return on equity 13.4 per cent (12.9). 

As the sole Swedish investor, SEB is investing in the Danish SDG Investment Fund – a fund that is contributing toward achievement of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals by investing in developing countries.

On Thursday the Nordic Investment Bank for the first time issued a “blue bond”, with funding earmarked for protecting the sensitive marine environment in the Baltic Sea. SEB arranged the issue. 

A global network and an independent governance organisation tied to the Corda blockchain network are now being launched. 

SEB on 3 December introduced the speedy SWIFT gpi payment service on all its markets outside of Sweden. SEB already in June introduced the service in Sweden.

Next year blockchain will take the leap from hype to reality. That was the message at the blockchain firm R3’s Nordic conference, which was held at SEB in Arenastaden. 

Meet Adam Österman who works in SEB's Innovation Lab. He is driven by releasing innovation and creating new ways of working within the bank.
