In 1982, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten named Jyske Bank “the catfish in the tank”. The catfish is a different and very active fish, adding oxygen to the water in an oxygen-poor tank.

Being the upstart in the banking sector, Jyske Bank has always been forced to blaze new trails – thus adding to the activity and competition in the sector, to the benefit of bank customers.

Activities:

  • Banking business in Denmark: Providing financial solutions for private customers and companies
  • Banking business outside Denmark: We have a business oriented branch in Hamburg, and offer investment advisory services to international private banking clients
  • Mortgage loans in Denmark: Jyske Realkredit (formerly BRFkredit)

More information on Nykredit Bank A/S: https://www.nykredit.com/en-gb/ + Nykredit is different. Yes, we are a bank. And a mortgage provider too. But in one important area we are different: We are owned by an association of customers. Being customer-owned, we are in a unique position to give something back to our customers when we are doing well. Together we can simply do more for our customers and for society.

Nykredit is a diverse business: mortgage lender, banker, insurer, estate agent, financial mutual – and much more.
