Collector Bank AB has today, 5 September 2023, formally changed its corporate name to Norion Bank AB.

On 28 March 2023, a press release was published stating that the Board of Directors of Collector Bank AB proposed changing the corporate name from Collector Bank AB to Norion Bank AB. The bank has now received the approvals required to change the corporate name. Collector Bank AB has therefore formally changed its name to Norion Bank AB today, 5 September 2023.

The change of corporate name reflects the strategic transformation journey the company has carried out, moving from a digital challenger bank to a Nordic financing bank with clear focus on balanced and profitable growth. The name change also clarifies the customer offering as the business nowadays is carried out under three brands:

  • Norion Bank (the business area Corporate and Real Estate)
  • Walley (the business area Payments)
  • Collector (the business area Consumer)

– The name change is a natural step for Norion Bank that has carried out major strategic changes in recent years. I am pleased with the company’s progress and the potential and opportunities that lie ahead. The introduction of three brands also clarifies the company’s offering in full. The corporate name Norion Bank has also become the brand for the business area Corporate and Real Estate. The business area amounts to close to 70% of the company’s total loan portfolio today, and has been the main driver of the company’s profitable growth in recent years, says Erik Selin, Chairman of the Board, Norion Bank AB.

Business will continue to be conducted through Norion Bank AB and the corporate organization number (556597-0513) will remain unchanged. The company’s Norwegian branch’s name will be changed to “Norion Bank AB, Norge filial” and the company’s Finnish branch’s name will be changed to “Norion Bank AB, Suomen sivuliike” upon registration in the trade registers.

The share’s ticker will shortly be changed from ‘COLL’ to ‘NORION’ on Nasdaq Stockholm and the company’s bond listed on Oslo Børs will shortly be traded under the new ticker ‘NORI’ (previously ‘COBK’). The instrument tickers for the company’s outstanding bonds will be changed in accordance with the list below. The ISIN-codes for the company’s share (SE0017831795) and outstanding bonds will remain unchanged.
