OREANDA-NEWS. September 17, 2014. Euromoney, the world’s leading business magazine, nominated SEB as the best bank in Estonia for the second year in a row, as well as the best bank for the management of money flows in the Baltic and Nordic countries, and the best investment bank in Sweden.

According to Euromoney, the management of working capital has become increasingly important for companies and SEB deserved the nomination as the best bank for the management of money flows, as the company has taken an additional step in satisfying the client’s needs than any other bank in the region.

“SEB has focused on creating full solutions for the customer. We are pleased by this recognition, and it is nice to see that our efforts are being noticed. We value a long-term, trust-based client relationship. In recent years SEB has put significant effort into topics that are important to the client, like consultations on working capital and the business model. Our innovative positions make us successful, and we have also received recognition of this from our clients. Increasingly, SEB is seen as a partner and not just a bank,” said Riho Unt, Chairman of the Management Board of SEB, expressing his satisfaction with the praise.

As one of SEB’s strengths, Euromoney cited the bank’s highly successful and wide-scale consultation services for companies: SEB has, for example, conducted a large-scale consultation project in Estonia for the last two autumns, in the framework of which SEB’s client executives visited 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprises on both occasions. The judges were also impressed with SEB’s strong economic figures.

With their prizes, Euromoney recognises the institutions and individuals whose initiative and innovation bring them significant results and success on the market.

This year, UBS was chosen as the world’s best bank. When awarding prizes, Euromoney compares banks’ financial performance, growth figures and development activities over the past 12 months.
