about nordnet

Nordnet offers services that simplify savings, investments and loans. We emerged as a reaction to the ways the banks were working - as an alternative to something that could be done considerably easier and more modern. Towards the end of the 90’s, we revolutionized stock trading, making it possible for anyone to become a stockbroker. Since then, we have expanded our offer to include everything from online consulting to smarter pension solutions.

Nordnet keeps it simple. This is our mission, and the driving force behind everything we do. It is also with simplicity in mind that we will reach our vision, to
become the leading bank for savings in the Nordic countries.

To get there, we will be staying with our core services - stock and fund trading for active savers - and then broadening our offer to also include other savings and banking services.

At present, Nordnet is the biggest Nordic broker in terms of number of trades on the stock exchange.

From our origins as a small Internet broker, we have begun to pose a serious challenge to the Jurassic banks. This is something we intend to continue with - by not being like them.

Nordnet is the simple, modern, active alternative that always has the best interest for the savers in mind.
