The history of our relationship with the bank is best illustrated by a famous saying ‘people make all the difference’. During almost fifteen years the work with the bank went on perfectly. It is difficult to imagine now, but we could GUARANTEE to a client who met the bank’s requirements that the account would be opened within 5 days. During those years we opened hundreds of accounts, with not more than five rejected applications (those in the know will definitely appreciate the percentage). The credit for that spectacular result goes to the head of the international department who held this post for nearly twenty years…

The summer of 2011 saw the inevitable event which we all so feared: the head of the department retired and the smoothly working mechanism immediately began to malfunction: with the new head of office the procedure was no longer transparent or predictable. We did not dare to predict success of the account application even in most obvious cases, with percentage of rejected applications ranging from 40% to 60%. And the procedure itself took two or three months.

In July 2014 the bank adopted a new dramatically different policy: it intends to focus on Scandinavian markets. It will therefore no longer open accounts for foreign companies and will close the existing accounts.

History
Established 1990 as Unibank A/S through a merger between Andelsbanken/Danebank A/S, Privatbanken A/S and Sparekassen SDS A/S. In April 2000 the group Unidanmark, Unibank's parent company, announced their merger with the group MeritaNordbanken, which was formed in 1997 through a merger between the Finnish bank Merita Bank Plc and the Swedish bank Nordbanken AB (publ). In December 2000 the Norwegian bank Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse was integrated into the group, which operated during a transitional period under the name Nordic Baltic Holding, later renamed Nordea AB (publ). On December 3, 2001 the banks in the four Nordic countries changed their legal names and Nordea Bank Danmark A/S replaced the name Unibank A/S in Denmark. The holding company Nordea AB (publ) became in December 2001 the ultimate parent company of Nordea Securities AB, Nordea Asset Management AB, Nordea Life Holding A/S and Nordea Bank Finland Plc, which in turn was the parent company of Nordea Bank Danmark A/S, Nordea Bank Norge ASA and Nordea Bank Sweden AB (publ). In June 2003 Nordea Bank Danmark A/S and Nordea Bank Sweden AB (publ), and in October 2003 Nordea Bank Norge ASA, were transferred from Nordea Bank Finland Plc to Nordea AB (publ) by way of internal sale. The parent company, Nordea AB (publ), was granted a bank charter and thus changed its name to Nordea Bank AB (publ) as of January 30, 2004.
