How data benefits you

We use your data to offer you the best advice and solutions and keep your finances safe. Below are four different examples of how we can use data to create value for you.

Financial advice

Advising you on important financial decisions is a fundamental part of being your financial adviser – and the better we know you, the better advice we can give. For example, if you are looking for a new home, we base our recommendations on information about your income, debt and daily expenses. But we also take into account your future plans – are you, for instance, planning to have children, looking for a new job or buying a car. By taking all this information into account, we can show you the possibilities and offer you advice that enables you to live the life you want, also in the future. 

Keeping your finances safe 

Protecting you from fraud is very important to us. We screen all transactions and use your data to identify any transactions that could indicate fraud. If a transaction seems suspicious because it deviates from your normal behaviour or resembles a known fraud pattern, we investigate the transaction on your behalf. If our suspicion is confirmed, we will contact you. 

Here are two examples of what a suspicious transaction or activity can look like:

  • Irregular payments to accounts you have not transferred money to before, or sudden, large payments abroad
  • Someone other than you try to access your accounts or use your credit card 

    Note that the data used for fraud prevention is never used for commercial purposes. This is a question about keeping your finances safe. If you want to know more about what you can do to protect yourself online, check our safety online website

Spending overview

The spending overview in eBanking and mobile bank is a simple example of how data can give you an overview of how you spend your money month by month, and it is a useful tool for financial decisions. Transactions are automatically categorised and presented visually. You have the opportunity to adjust the categorisation to fit your needs even better. 

Relevant communication

We use our knowledge about you to make all our communication and advice as relevant for you as possible. For example:

  • We constantly monitor the financial markets. If interest rates change in a way that makes it relevant for you as a homeowner to consider alternative ways to finance your home, we will contact you with recommendations on remortgaging opportunities or alternative loan types.
  • If data shows that your children will soon be old enough to move out, we send out invitations to free events about the possibilities in this new phase of your life. Such events could be about your opportunity to help your children purchase a home, or how other parents have benefited from their extra disposable income.
