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:
