Sparebanken Vest

Sparebanken Vest, established in 1823, is the third-largest savings bank in Norway, primarily serving the western region of the country. It functions as an independent financial services group providing a comprehensive range of banking products to both private and corporate clients. In addition to its core banking operations, Sparebanken Vest is an active investor, making direct investments through a venture portfolio into start-up companies, particularly those in Western Norway focused on sectors like environmental technology and medicine. The bank also generates income from asset management and brokerage activities. In August 2024, a merger with Sparebanken Sør was announced, with the combined entity to be named Sparebanken Norge.
