Press Release
27 August 2012
Pohjola will expand its operations in the Baltic countries by opening a
corporate branch office in Riga, Latvia, where Pohjola will provide its
customers with payment and liquidity management services and working capital
finance and investment financing.
- The Baltic countries play an important role in Pohjola's strategy and in the
improvement in international service capabilities. The region's importance to
our banking group's customers is also growing. By opening the branch office, we
wish to serve our existing customers in the Baltic market too. We will also
target our services at local large Latvian companies, says Reima Rytsölä, Senior
Executive Vice President, Banking.
- Customer focus, flexibility and speed number among our assets. We build our
customer relationships on a long-term basis based on in-depth knowledge of
customer needs and their business, and close interaction, he continues.
Enabled by the new branch office, Pohjola and OP-Pohjola Group member
cooperative banks can provide their corporate customers in Latvia with payment
and cash management services.
Pohjola has run finance-company business in the Baltic countries since 2008. Its
service range has included extensive finance lease services. In addition,
Pohjola has been operating in the region for some two decades through its non-
life insurance subsidiary Seesam. In the summer of 2011, Pohjola opened a
corporate branch office in Tallinn, Estonia. Pohjola is also planning to open a
corporate branch office in Vilnius, Lithuania.
