"Our extensive work to build a more efficient bank continues. Through the amazing commitment from our co-workers and significant IT investments, the customer experience is improving, which lays the foundation for strong growth. At the same time, it is an intense effort in an uncertain and economically challenging environment. Ingka's decision to purchase the remaining shares of the Bank further strengthens our growth prospects going forward and is a testament that we are on the right path with what we have done so far."
Henrik Eklund, CEO, Ikano Bank AB (publ)
