History

In 1972, Stockholms Enskilda Bank and Skandinaviska Banken merged to form SEB. Reasons for the merger included creating a bank better positioned to serve corporate clients and to fend off competition from major international banks.

SEB acquired Swedish insurance company Trygg-Hansa in 1997, and integrated its life insurance activities. The property and casualty insurance portion of Trygg-Hansa was later sold.

In 1998, the company changed its logo and brand name from SE-Banken to SEB. At the end of that same year, SEB bought its first shares of the three Baltic banks Eesti Ühispank , Latvijas Unibank and Vilniaus Bankas . In 2000, SEB acquired Germany’s Bank für Gemeinwirtschaft and the remaining parts of the three Baltic banks.In early 2001, the company announced plans for a merger with the FöreningsSparbanken , which was called off when the European Commission demanded major concessions for its approval.

In 2007/2008, SEB developed the green bond concept together with the World Bank.After several years of weak profitability, SEB sold its German retail banking operations to Spain's Banco Santander in January 2011.SEB sold its retail banking operations in Ukraine to Eurobank Group in June 2012.
