Two traditional and well-run banks merged, one with a history dating back to 1824 in Kristiansand and the other from 1825 in Arendal. Two complementary banks, with different perspectives and strengths, merged together. Two banks, which individually delivered historically good results in 2013 and in so doing, showed that they could maintain a steady course on their own, but which nevertheless became one bank. Our first year of operation is now behind us and we are satisfied with the presented financial statements. The result has been achieved by almost 500 employees, who through the whole of 2014 have worked hard in the customers and region’s best interests. We have had one clear aim from the outset and that is to be the bank for our region. This is expressed through our powerful ambition which says that we will; • Contribute to further growth and development in the region through developing a large and energetic bank that focuses on the region and is regional. • Create a new financial centre in the region with capacity, risk diversification, competitive power and profitability. • Develop a new bank that is better equipped to manage changed framework conditions and regulatory requirements. • Be a bank with a complete office network providing a common understanding of perspective and direction for the customer proximity and competitive advantages. way forward. Even though from the outside and individually • Create one of the region’s most attractive workplaces, we knew each other’s strengths, since the merger we have with significant expertise and room for specialisation. become even more certain that two complementary banks have become one. If we add to that the authorities’ regulatory No other bank is better placed to deliver in accordance with requirements and that the need to invest in technology also this ambition. favours larger units, we have established a bank that is well The foundation for the result in 2014 was laid through equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow. systematic work that got underway in 2013. The management In the first half-year, the most important prerequisites were team was established at an early stage, which has enabled in place.

This underlines our build on the best of both banks, and creating a winning team ambition to be a bank for the region. from two former competitors has had top priority. Therefore, The merged bank has reinforced its position as the regional in the first months of the year we developed a new corporate bank for Agder and Telemark. Despite all the work involved identity that everyone could identify with and established 4 in the merger, the bank has experienced growth, both in the retail banking and corporate market. Competition for mortgage customers has been strong through the year and all banks have found it necessary to cut lending rates to maintain market shares. Competition is also strong in the corporate market, but Sparebanken Sør is competitive. The bank has also received renewed trust as a business partner for Kristen-Norges Innkjøpsfellesskap (KNIF). Sparebanken Sør will continue to be competitive in the future. An essential element will be cost efficiency and through 2014, the bank has realised a significant portion of the gains arising from the merger. Through natural attrition, partly as a result of age structure, the workforce has been reduced from 520 to 454 FTEs since the idea of a merger was introduced. This, together with the fact that the costs related to the merger have been recognised in 2014, gives the bank the best starting point for future cost-effective operations. With 2014 behind us, we can say with certainty that implementation of the merger has gone according to plan and the positive effects have begun to materialise. New Sparebank Sør has had a very satisfactory first year of operation. The bank has presented a sound financial result, positively impacted by the income and cost trends and negatively by loss provisions the bank made in 3Q. With the transactions the bank has made in 2014 it is well positioned to face a somewhat more uncertain situation in 2015. The foundation for the new bank has been laid and we are looking forward to contributing to further growth and development in the region.

    Sparebanken Sør 3rd quarter 2015 Information The merger between Sparebanken Pluss and Sparebanken Sør complies with the rules set out in IFRS 3 and has been executed as a transaction. Sparebanken Sør´s net assets have been recognized in Sparebanken Pluss' balance sheet as of January 1st 2014. Negative goodwill is a consequence of divergence between the value of net assets and the fee paid in the merger. To prevent dilution of the equity ratio, negative goodwill has been fully recognized immediately after completion of the merger and transferred directly to the dividend equalization fund. (see separate note on the merger).

D:77 ISBN 951-686-378-7 ISSN 0355-6042 Preface A major part of the EC legislation creating the Single Market for banking services has been in force in the Community from 1 January 1993. One example of such legislation is the recognition of a single banking licence in all member states. The EEA agreement will extend practically all of this legislation to the EFTA countri~s other than Switzerland. The economic consequence of this is that the' legal and administrative barrlers to the free cross-border supply of banking services have now been by and large lifted, which paves the way to an increase in the level of banking competition and the associated welfare gains. Furthermore, the harmonization of the key elements of banking regulation - though stiU incomplete in important respects - is creating equal competitive conditions for all credit institutions in the Single Market area. Increasing foreign competition would increase the importance of domestic banks' competitiveness (especially their cost efficiency) and therefore put pressure on inefficient banks and banking systems to restructure. Two caveats are worth mentioning. First, convergence in legal conditions does not necessarily mean economic integration. There are impediments to increases in foreign (and domestic) competition related to banking industry characteristics and banks' strategic countering of changes in their legal environment, which can sustain market segmentation, particularly in retail banking.

  • Forbud Mot Eksklusivitetsavtaler - Elektronisk Formidling Av Betalingskrav for Presentasjon I Nettbanker - Konkurranseloven § 3-10
    Forbud mot eksklusivitetsavtaler - elektronisk formidling av betalingskrav for presentasjon i nettbanker - konkurranseloven § 3-10 V2001-108 21.11.2001 Forbud mot eksklusivitetsavtaler - elektronisk formidling av betalingskrav for presentasjon i nettbanker - konkurranseloven § 3-10 Sammendrag: Konkurransetilsynet forbyr bankene og Bankenes Betalingssentral (BBS) å operere med eksklusivitetsavtaler i forbindelse med elektroniske fakturaer. Ved å forby slike avtaler fjerner tilsynet en betydelig konkurransehindring og åpner for at fakturautstederen kan velge mellom flere ulike e- faktura-løsninger. BBS mister dermed monopolet på å nå alle landets nettbankbrukere med e-faktura. Det vises til brev av 22. oktober 2001 der Konkurransetilsynet varsler forbud mot eksklusivitetsavtaler om produksjon og elektronisk formidling av fakturaer for presentasjon i nettbankene. 1. Bakgrunn Konkurransetilsynet mottok 11. januar 2001 en henvendelse om elektronisk fakturering i BBS/Bank- Axept Holding AS (BBS). Med utgangspunkt i henvendelsen har tilsynet sett nærmere på markedet for elektronisk formidling av betalingskrav. Tilsynet har i løpet av saksbehandlingen hatt møter med BBS, EDB Business Partner (EDB), Norges Bank, Kredittilsynet, Storebrand, Finansnæringens Hovedorganisasjon og Sparebankforeningen. Også en rekke andre aktører har blitt hørt, både fakturautstedere og banker. Som følge av ovennevnte varsel om inngrep har Konkurransetilsynet mottatt brev med kom-mentarer fra BBS, Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse ASA (Kreditkassen), Den norske Bank ASA (DnB), Gjensidige NOR Sparebank (NOR), Sparebank 1 Gruppen AS (Sparebank 1), Terra-Gruppen AS og enkelte andre aktører. EDB har deretter kommentert disse uttalelsene. Kommentarene fra BBS og bankene er tilnærmet likelydende. De poengterer at avtalen som inneholder den klausulen Konkurransetilsynet vil forby, ikke lenger gjelder. Videre presiseres det at eksklusivitetsklausuler ikke kommer til å bli tatt inn i de "regulære tjenesteavtalene" som er under utarbeidelse.

  • Bergen Bank, DNC Og Kreditkassen
    BERGEN BANK – MANGE BEKKER SMÅ GJØR EN STOR Å Av Svein Røer og Leif Bjornes Ovennevnte tittel er hentet fra 150 års jubileet til Bergen Bank i 1980, og gir et meget godt bilde på hvordan en storbank blir til. Historien frem til Bergen Banks etablering ved fusjon mellom de to store Bergensbankene Bergens Privatbank og Bergens Kreditbank i 1975 har omfattet mange fusjoner og oppkjøp av mindre forretnings- og privatbanker. Bergens Privatbank startet i 1855 og var en ren Bergens-bank frem til 1912, da den etablerte egen filial i Odda. Neste skritt tok Bergens Privatbank over til Østlandet ved fusjonen med Revisjonsbanken som hadde kontorer i Oslo, Sandvika, Lillestrøm og Sørumsand. Deretter følger mange fusjoner i årene frem til 1975. Bergens Kreditbank var opprinnelig Kreditkassens filial i Bergen frem til 1876. Dette året ble banken etablert og overtok filialen til Kreditkassen i Bergen. Mellomakten med Andresens Bank som ”Foreningsbanken” fra 1919 til 1928 var ikke vellykket og begge banker oppstod som selvstendige enheter igjen i 1928. Oversikten må ut fra dette deles i tre - røtter, Bergens Privatbanks, Bergens Kreditbanks og Kristiania Industri og Handelsbank, 1917. Overtatt av Bergens Bergen Banks. Kreditbank i 1948.
