Handelsbanken acclaimed Bank of the Year
Today, Handelsbanken was acclaimed Bank of the Year 2009. This was the 19th year running that Privata Affärer, a Swedish periodical for private finances, made this award. The magazine's jury chose Handelsbanken for the following reasons:
"A full-range bank that during troubled times has proved to be impressively stable and has therefore been able to act more offensively for the benefit of its customers."
"Of course, all of us at Handelsbanken are delighted to receive such excellent recognition. It stimulates us in our work of lifting our service level even higher, of increasing our availability and of improving our customer offering - quite simply of becoming a little bit better for our customers every single day," says Pär Boman, Group chief executive of Handelsbanken.
