This year the group's breadth and robustness have been extra important – SMN is strengthening its position as the leading financed house in the region

Good underlying operations in a challenging year; the results for 2020 show top line growth combined with good cost control

The results nonetheless reflect high loss provisions, mainly down to Covid-19 and the offshore portfolio

The group is solidly capitalised, financially positioned for continued growth and with good dividend capacity

Good prospects for further growth, a strengthened market share and increased efficiency. Measures now being implemented through One SMN will make for customer-oriented and simplified distribution, increased digitalisation and more efficient operations

With the local community at heart. Each year the bank's community dividend contributes to causes small and large that will make Central Norway a better and more sustainable region
