Nordbanken

Nordbanken was formed in 1986 by a merger of two smaller private local banks, Uplandsbanken and Sundsvallsbanken. The oldest of the original Nordbanken constituent banks was Wermlandsbanken, which was founded in 1832. Nordbanken came under Swedish government control in 1992, following the Swedish banking crisis in the early 1990s,^[1] with the sale of its non-performing loans to the Swedish government and significant reduction in personnel. Bad debts were transferred to the asset-management company Securum, which sold off the assets.^[2]

Following the 1990 merger Nordbanken had its head office at PK-huset, a building completed in 1974 and previously headquarters of PKbanken. PK-huset later became the head office of Nordea until its relocation to Helsinki, decided in 2017 and effective on 1 October 2018.^[3]
