  • At the end of April, the international rating agency S&P Global Ratings announced an upgrade of the Bank’s credit rating, from BBB+ to A-. This is the highest credit rating Landsbankinn has achieved since 2014, when S&P started rating the Bank. 

Lilja Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO of Landsbankinn: 

 “The Bank’s strong half-year results reflect its solid position. A broad range of services contributes to stable and sound operations, and continuous improvements enhance customer satisfaction. Significant market volatility in the past three months has impacted returns from investment assets but fee and commission income increased year-over-year. Defaults have not increased despite persistently high interest rates, which is encouraging. 

There has been a noticeable slowdown in the Bank’s mortgage lending, alongside reduced demand for non-indexed mortgages. On the other hand, corporate lending has grown steadily. There is strong growth in deposits and market funding has also been successful. The Bank’s issuance of EUR 300 million in green bonds in June was at the most favourable terms it has received in many years, following an upgrade to the Bank’s credit rating. With this issuance, all of the Bank’s general bond issues in euros are now green. 

The integration of TM into the Landsbankinn group is progressing well. We have made several organisational changes and operations to best leverage the group’s strengths and the results so far are promising. Our focus is on increasing TM’s market share in the insurance sector by boosting insurance sales through Landsbankinn’s distribution network, as well as maintaining TM’s strong customer relationships, particularly with corporate clients. 

Landsbankinn recently advertised for sale the beautiful and historic building at Austurstræti 11, along with three adjacent properties. The sales process has not yet concluded and emphasis is being placed on conducting it carefully and professionally. The Bank has a long-standing history in the city centre, as does TM, which in June moved its main office operations back down-town, to Kalkofnsvegur. At the same time, 24 TM employees transferred to the Bank and TM’s branch was merged with Landsbankinn’s branch at Reykjastræti 6. As is the case with Landsbréf, TM shares various services with Landsbankinn. Close cooperation within the group is key to achieving success and continuing to provide excellent customer service. By leveraging all our strengths to support our customers, we contribute to a prosperous future for them and for society as a whole.”
