Strong customer relationships, a thorough understanding of clients’ needs, and the ability to deliver solutions across the full range of products.

According to clients, these are some of the reasons why Danske Bank can, for the second year running, call itself the winner of the Prosperas Nordic Grand Total 2025 award.

This recognition is highly motivating, and we will do our absolute best to maintain our position as number one,” says Joachim Alpen, Head of Large Corporates & Institutions at Danske Bank.
