Report this content

”Länsförsäkringar Bank is continuing to perform strongly and we can report our best ever quarterly results. It is tremendously gratifying that we are once again the single player on the bank market with the most satisfied retail customers and, for the first time, we also have the most satisfied corporate customers according to the Swedish Quality Index’s most recent survey that was published in the beginning of October (SKI 2017). The key to our success is the excellent work carried out locally at the regional insurance companies and that results in high customer satisfaction. The healthy customer inflow is confirmation that customers appreciate our strong local presence and focus on customer meetings combined with our market-leading digital banking services. We remain an attractive alternative for new bank customers and our market shares are increasing in both mortgage lending and household deposits, while business volumes trended positively in all product segments.” says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Bank.
