Since 2011, the company has only called itself DNB for short as a nameless abbreviation (hence the spelling in three capital letters).

The largest shareholder is the Nærings- og Handelsdepartementet of the Norwegian state . DNB manages 2,011 capital in the amount of more than 2,000 billion Norwegian crowns . Even though the group is headquartered in Oslo, important departments are located in Bergen .

In Germany DNB became known from a joint venture DnB Nord A / S , in which the then DnB merged their business in the Baltic Sea area with NORD / LB (49 percent). It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary with numerous name changes and other business contents.
