About Nordnet

Nordnet started 25 years ago with the aim of democratising savings and investments. We have grown to become the leading digital platform for savings and investments in the Nordic region. Through innovation, simplicity and transparency, we challenge traditional structures and give private savers access to the same information, tools and services as professional investors.

We are approximately 900 employees in Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki and Copenhagen.
