• HOW DOES NOBA INCORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INTO ITS BUSINESS PRACTICES?

  We strive to enable financial health of more people – customers, shareholders and society at large. In practice that means that we offer mortgages regardless of the applicant’s type of employment. We gather smaller loans into one to lower the monthly payment. We provide flexibility and balance through one of the most popular credit cards in the Nordics. And we make sure the +60 group can keep living in their home longer.

  “To succeed, sustainability needs to be a natural and integral part of the business”.
