Sydbank is a nationwide, full-service corporate and advisory bank building on relationships between people. We find solutions where they are – quickly and efficiently. This is the basis of the day-to-day work at Sydbank, which has grown through mergers and acquisitions into one of Denmark’s largest banks.

Sydbank has a solid financial foundation that offers room for more business with new customers as well as existing customers. Our growth will be built on a firm and sound footing. Sydbank wishes to remain a bank operating on its own terms and we aim to be the preferred business partner. We focus on our own products but use business partners for a wide variety of financial services, for instance mortgage credit, pensions, and insurance.

As an advisory and service undertaking Sydbank’s primary objective is to meet the financial requirements of its customers. Sydbank achieves this objective by striving to be among the absolute top performers in Denmark in terms of operating a bank and providing advisory services to customers based on their unique situation.
