Sydbank’s clients will be transferred to
Nordea Bank, Zweigniederlassung Zürich, and incorporated into the
bank’s existing business model, Nordea Bank chief executive Jhon
Mortensen said.
A similar arrangement in 2008 saw private
banking clients from Glitnir Bank in Luxembourg, and
Luxembourg-based Icelandic private bank Landsbanki, transferred to
Nordea.
Nordea Bank has 380 employees in Luxembourg
and Switzerland, and total assets under management of €191 billion
($262 billion).
