The story

SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken) is a Nordic universal bank founded in 1856, with retail and corporate banking operations across Sweden and the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Its embedded/third-party stack in Estonia is minimal and mainly focused on regulated processor relationships — Onfido for mobile-onboarding identity verification and Evry Card Services for physical card production — with most of the value chain (leasing, life/pension, asset management) delivered by wholly-owned SEB Group subsidiaries.
