SEB Pank
AS SEB Pank quarterly report for Q4 2008
SEB Pank / Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ahti Asmann, Head of SEB in Estonia comment: Our financial result reflects the current situation in the Estonian and global economy. SEB is monitoring the changes in the economies of Estonia and our main export partners very closely and we have increased our loan provisions significantly in 2008 due to the weakened economic environment. However, regardless of the complicated situation, SEB is determined to keep to its long-term goals by placing the main emphasis on high quality of client service. SEB is in a strong position from which to face the decline on the markets. SEB is still the bank with the best client services in Estonia. The number of clients who use banking services actively increased considerably in 2008, mainly as a result of the Payment Plan launched on the market, which are new in Estonia. The market share of SEB increased noticeably in the area of pensions, mainly on account of the Pension Plan launch. SEB is currently in a strong position and will continue moving towards the achievement of its business goals. Key events in QIV and year 2008 The number of the AS SEB Bank's active customers grew by 17,500 individuals and 2,000companies in 2008. Since 7 March 2008, AS SEB Pank has been rebranded and the bank now operates under the name SEB Pank. In January, AS SEB Pank successfully launched SEPA payments, becoming the only bank in Estonia to be a direct member of the panEuropean clearing system. AS SEB Pank was the first bank in Estonia to gain approval from the Financial Supervisory Authority to use IRB (Internal Ratings Based Approach) and AMA (Advanced Measurement Approach) models for credit and operational risk management and measurement for capital requirements. AS SEB Pank, along with other major banks in Estonia, successfully completed the sale of the card payment processing company Pankade Kaardikeskus AS (PKK) to Northern European Transaction Services (NETS). SEB group and the leading international insurance company Genworth Financials launched Payment Protection Insurance for private borrowers, which allows their loan obligations to be fulfilled even in the event that they involuntarily become unemployed or temporarily incapacitated as a result of an accident or illness. 2000 clients made use of this opportunity in 2008. Encouraged by the success of SME start packages, SEB group also launched packagebased products for private individuals. In terms of pricing the more relevant banking products are free of charge for clients and there is just one fixed monthly fee instead of various bank charges. The packages have proven to be very popular and SEB group has attracted a number of new active customers; in fact 50% of package clients are completely new or previously passive clients. The packages have also boosted custome satisfaction since they make our banking services easier and simpler. By the end of 2008 more than 50,000 clients used packagebased pricing. SEB Estonia (SEB Pank Group and his subsidiaries in Estonia) introduced a new service concept in September with a relationship agreement called the SEB Pension Plan. This new concept is something we believe will differentiate us from our main competitors, as we are the only bank in Estonia that provides a systematic overview of pension investments in all three pillars. The SEB Pension Plan attracted 10,000 customers within four months. In October SEB Estonia launched the new II pillar pension fund SEB Optimal Pension, which invests 75% of its assets in less risky instruments: bonds, money market instruments, deposits and other assets. More than 10,000 pensioners opened an account in AS SEB Pank in Q4 in order to obtain their retirement pay through the bank. Previously they received their pension through post offices. AS SEB Pank offered them a special bank card which provides discounts in 185 pharmacies across Estonia operated by AS SEB Pank's partner Apteek1. The pharmacy discount bank card is the first of its kind in Estonia. SEB Estonia has effectively increased its market share among companies which are starting up. More than half of all newly established companies started their business with AS SEB Pank in 2008. Customer relations and customer satisfaction AS SEB Pank ranked third in an image profile survey carried out in 2008 by TNS Emor in Estonia, up one position on the previous survey. The survey covered 66 major companies in the country and measured their image based on people's general attitude and perceived strength. The survey was conducted in April and was the eighth of its kind The latest customer satisfaction poll conducted by TNS Emor revealed that despite a difficult year on the financial market and for the world economy, private and corporate customer satisfaction is still highest with AS SEB Pank. The fact that AS SEB Pank's customer relations are significantly stronger than the European average is also worthy of mentioning. Whereas in Europe the average customer satisfaction index for retail banking is 68, the corresponding index in AS SEB Pank is 77. 98% of our customers are satisfied with our services, and 93% would recommend AS SEB Pank and its services to their friends and family. Our customers feel that the bank's main strengths lie in staff competence; its ability to consider the customer's interests; appealing customer service; and the bank's good reputation. The Banker, the global financial magazine published by the Financial Times publishing group, selected AS SEB Pank as the best bank in Estonia in 2008 - the second year in a row that AS SEB Pank received the award. In early 2009 the world's leading magazine on securities services, Global Custodian, gave AS SEB Pank's Custody Services the highest possible rating on the Estonian market - Topp Rated, based on customer satisfaction surveys in 2008. Social responsibility and sponsorship AS SEB Pank supports Estonia's leading business plan competition Ajujaht', which is designed to contribute to the creation of new knowledgebased companies and to boost the business skills of students and young scientists. 259 business ideas were submitted this year. These are transformed into business plans with the help of experts and perfected until the teams are ready to meet investors and take the idea to a successful launch. The competition will run until spring 2009. In 2008 the MTÜ SEB Heategevusfond (Charity Fund) conducted several campaigns to raise money to support children without parental care. Since the foundation of the fund in 2006 almost 9 million kroons has been raised in support of children's shelters and safe houses all over Estonia. Our aim is to provide children who have no parental care with more equal opportunities, allowing them to feel that they are on the same level as peers raised in conventional families, to be active and to broaden their horizons. The bank provides the fund with two million kroons in support every year. To date over 6000 bank customers have joined us in our efforts and are making donations on a regular basis. The funds raised with the help of these good people have been used to organise various events for children - sports days, first aid courses, visits to the theatre and cinema and more. We have also distributed more than 1000 children's books and bought sports equipment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Consolidated Balance Sheet | |
