Swedbank has been the international name for the bank since 1983.

FS-Banken said that provided the meeting adopts the board’s proposal, a review of the brand structure for the entire group will commence later this year.

“The board of directors’ proposal is a reflection of the bank’s international growth objectives. Over the long term we will get the most out of our communication with customers, partners and the marketplaces by operating under a single brand,” said chairman Carl Eric Stålberg.
