Jyske Bank

Jyske Bank was founded in 1967 in the town of Silkeborg, Denmark, by a group of local businessmen who were looking to establish a new bank that would focus on serving the needs of the rural communities in the area. The bank was initially called Silkeborg Bank, but it changed its name to Jyske Bank in 1970 to reflect its broader geographic focus. In the 1990s, Jyske Bank began to expand its operations beyond Denmark, establishing a presence in several other European countries, including Germany, Switzerland, and France.

In its early years, Jyske Bank focused primarily on providing banking services to farmers, agricultural businesses, and other rural enterprises. The bank quickly established a reputation for its personalized service and its deep knowledge of the needs of the agricultural sector. Over time, Jyske Bank expanded its operations to include a wider range of personal and business banking products and services. The bank developed a reputation for innovation, with a focus on technology and customer service.

Jyske Bank’s total tax contribution to society exceeded DKK 2 billion in 2022, which made it the sixth-largest taxpayer in Denmark. In terms of total assets, Jyske is one of the largest bank in Denmark with total assets of DKK 749,997.00 million. The bank has a nationwide network of 98 Danish branches and 3,878 full-time employees.
