DNB ASA (formerly DnB NOR ASA) is Norway's largest financial services group, with total combined assets of more than NOK 1.9 trillion and a market capitalisation NOK 164 billion as of 20 May 2016. DNB's head office is located in Oslo.
The two largest owners of DNB are the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry (34.0%) and Sparebankstiftelsen DNB (10.0%). The latter was created as a foundation with the sole purpose of owning a part of the company. It was created when Gjensidige NOR was made a public limited company to ensure that the company's customers retained partial ownership of the company. The foundation can also give up to 25% of its received dividend as gifts to charity.

History


The history of the group goes back to 1822, with the establishment of Christiania Sparebank. The present corporation consists of mergers between Christiania Sparebank (1822), Gjensidige (1847), Bergens Privatbank (1855), Den norske Creditbank (1857), Fellesbanken (1920), Bergens Kreditbank (1928), Postbanken, Vital and Nordlandsbanken. The name DnB NOR was adopted in 2003, when the two banks Den norske Bank (DnB) and Gjensidige NOR were merged. The company changed its legal name and brand to DNB in November 2011.
In August 2017, DNB and Nordea combined their operations in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to create Luminor Bank.
