Nordax Bank AB (publ) ("Nordax") has received an affirmed investment grade rating from the rating institute Nordic Credit Rating with the rating BBB, stable outlook.

Being an active issuer in the capital market is part of the strategy. The affirmed credit rating from Nordic Credit Rating further strengthens Nordax's possibilities of getting hold of attractive funding and deepens Nordax's sourcing capacity in the capital markets.

Since 2019, Svensk Hypotekspension, which is a specialist in equity release products, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordax Bank. The Group has over 500 employees, with offices in Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg and Fornebu, Oslo. The credit assessment process is one of Nordax's core competences. It is thorough, sound and data driven. Nordax's customers are financially stable. As at 31 March 2022, lending to the public amounted to SEK 75.0 billion and deposits to SEK 70.3 billion.
