Together we are more

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.

Our history

Nykredit is different. But how are we different? Nykredit dates back to 1851 when the first mortgage associations were formed – and of that we are proud. Michael Rasmussen, Group Chief Executive puts Nykredit's DNA into words and pictures in the film that you can watch here:

At Nykredit, we help our customers stay on top of their finances and provide them with opportunities and security. We want to share their dreams and worries and help them find the right solutions. Being customer-owned, we are in a unique position to share our success with our customers.

Our promises

At Nykredit, we are proud of our history. And we are aware that the world around us is changing dramatically in these years. Globalization of the economy, internationalization of regulation and the digitization of society provide completely new challenges and opportunities.

All that makes demands on us. For our foresight and adaptability. In a changing time, we cannot promise that everything will continue to be as it was yesterday. But we can promise that we will stick to our values ​​when we move forward as an association-controlled company and strive to share our progress with customers. That's why we make six promises.

Vores fundament

Tryghed og stabilitet har kendetegnet os og vores kerneprodukt siden 1851, hvor Nykredits historie startede. Derfor er det naturligt for os at have en vision, der rækker mange årtier frem: Vi vil være boligejernes førstevalg – og bidrage med en sikker hånd under dansk økonomi.

Vores strategi – Winning the Double – har som mål at sikre en kundeorienteret, rentabel og effektiv Nykredit-koncern. Vi vil både gøre en forskel for vores privat- og erhvervskunder og samtidig styrke samarbejdet med de banker, der udgør fællesskabet Totalkredit, så de er med til at gøre en forskel for deres kunder. Det er vores to strategiske kerneområder.
