Annual Report 2018 “EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO TO MAKE LIFE IN WESTERN NORWAY EVEN BETTER!” When Sparebanken Vest was founded almost 200 years ago, it heralded a new way of thinking about banking. The bank was to be owned by its customers, and its objective was to help the many poor in society. The idea that challenges are best solved together was what made us, and it is still what drives us. Today, we have more than 290,000 owners, and everything we do, we do to make life in Western Norway even better. We aim to make life even better for those growing up and settling down. For those who need to break with tradition and go their own ways. For those who have a dream they want to pursue. For everyone who works hard and for business owners who create jobs in Western Norway. We will achieve this by caring about our customers, helping people where they are, being simple to bank with and by providing important advice along the way. This sense of community gives us a unique strength to deal with major challenges. Challenges that concern us all and that are decisive for our future. We can do it better together.

Sparebanken Vest follows customers through all the important phases of life and big and small events – in short, a friend through thick and thin. Photo: Anne Lise Nordheim.
