Investigations against the bank were initiated in 2019 and have been conducted in Sweden, Estonia and the U.S.

They have dealt with the bank's work against money laundering and terrorist financing and its information disclosure from 2007 to 2019.

Jens Henriksson, president and CEO of Swedbank, points out that the DFS investigation concerned events that are a decade old.

“We can now put it behind us,” he says in a press release.

"All investigations concerning the bank's historical shortcomings have been concluded," says Chairman of the Board Göran Persson, according to the text.
