  • Valuation of Swedish Commercial Property in Cover Pool C)
    Translation by Danske Bank of a memorandum from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority dated 27 November 2014. In case of discrepancies the Danish version prevails. MEMORANDUM 27 November 2014 File No. 6252-0162 Statement on inspection at Danske Bank A/S (valuation of Swedish commercial property in Cover Pool C) Introduction In periods from September to November 2013, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) conducted an inspection (a functional inspection) at Danske Bank A/S. The inspection involved controls to check the valuation of Swedish commercial property, including residential rental property, in the bank’s Cover Pool C (that is, Swedish commercial property provided as security for loans financed by means of covered bonds). The FSA selected 53 Swedish commercial properties for inspection. The properties were located in Stockholm County, Västra Götaland County and Skåne County. In October and November 2013, the FSA inspected ten of the properties about which there was much uncertainty about valuation. Six of these properties were located in Stockholm, two in Malmö and two in Gothenburg. Summary and risk assessment In Danske Bank’s covered bond permission, the FSA accepts that, under certain conditions, the bank uses local covered bond rules and practices so that it is subject to the same local rules as Swedish banks. This means that Danske Bank Sweden may deviate from the requirements in the Danish Executive Order on Valuation if there are other rules or practices in Sweden for compliance with the directive requirements on covered bonds. The inspection resulted in an order that Danske Bank must prepare comprehensive valuation reports and that the bank must ensure that the valuation reports clearly show when a property has most recently been valued and by whom.

    Paper submitted to the IMP Conference 2013, Atlanta TRENDS TOWARDS FRAGMENTATION OF THE MOBILE PAYMENT MARKET IN SWEDEN Jan Markendahl and Tatjana Apanasevic Wireless@KTH, Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In Sweden many new mobile payment solutions and services have been proposed during the last years. Banks and payment providers have proposed different forms of person to person (P2P) and Point of Sales (PoS) services that are tested and taken into commercial use. The Swedish mobile operators have joined forces and formed a joint venture that offers a separate charging solution that can be used for mobile payments and e-commerce, i.e. not using the phone bill. Early 2013 the SMS ticket for public transportation was changed substantially with the entrance of many new actors. In this paper we use the ARA model (Activities, Resources and Actors) in order to analyse the new mobile payment solutions and services looking into the activities, roles and responsibilities of different actors. We also apply the activity system approach describing the Activity system content, structure and governance and activity design themes indicating the main value creation drivers. The analysed cases include mobile payment services for P2P transactions, payments in shops, and ticketing for public transport and parking. The technology, services, and new constellations of actors seem to work fine but there are challenges for the adoption of new services both due to both the multitude of solutions as well as the need to register and manage new user accounts with the payment providers offering new solutions.
