Investment Banking

Investment Banking (previously Corporate Finance) operates in most of the Bank’s international offices and is centrally managed from the Bank’s London office. Investment Banking provides various services to corporate clients through its four main product areas:

  • M&A advisory
  • Capital market transactions
  • Acquisition and leverage finance
  • Principal investments.

One of the fundamental drivers of the division’s success has been combining advisory with the Bank’s financing capabilities, creating an integrated solution for clients. This has been done in close co-operation with other divisions of the Bank, in particular Capital Markets and Corporate Banking. Investment Banking has been a leading player in Iceland in recent years both in terms of the number and size of managed offerings, arrangements of financing and advisory roles. With the Bank placing greater focus on international projects, an increasing proportion of Investment Banking transactions originates from outside Iceland, particularly from the Nordic countries and the U K.
