Interim Report for the period January - September 2018
“During the first nine months of 2018 we improved our net operating profit by 12 per cent to EUR 21.9 M. We achieved this level of earnings in spite of a large-scale implementation of new regulations, a sharply increased EU Single Resolution Fund fee and a significantly weaker Swedish krona, which adversely affected both our business volume and our earnings.“
A few years ago, the Bank of Åland was the first bank in the Nordic countries to begin partnering with new fintech companies. Our first such cooperation was with the company Dreams Nordic – a partnership that has developed nicely. During the third quarter, the Bank of Åland chose to become a part-owner of the company”
Peter Wiklöf, Managing Director
