Has the company changed owners?

When a company changes owners, including the beneficial owner, you must inform us of the change so that we can update the customer information and identify any service needs.

  1. Before you contact us, please wait until the company’s key persons and beneficial owners have been updated in the Trade Register.
  2. When you are authorised to sign for the company, you can represent the company and deliver the documents evidencing the change of ownership.
  3. Below you can find more detailed instructions depending on whether you have acquired a company that is already our corporate customer or whether you want to switch to us from another bank.
  4. Learn more about our Nordea Digital service package that will be set up for you when you are our corporate customer.

Thinking about acquiring a company?

You don’t always need to start from scratch – acquiring an established business could be your ticket to becoming an entrepreneur. 

If you know a company that runs a successful business, acquiring its operations could also be a good choice.

Tips for acquiring a company

Is the company you have acquired already banking with us?

To be able to process the change of ownership smoothly, we ask you as the new owner to deliver us the following documents digitally using Nordea Omaposti:

  • a copy of the signed deed of sale
  • details of the key persons and the company’s ownership structure. The details must be updated in the Trade Register, or alternatively, you can use Nordea Omaposti to deliver us a chart of the ownership structure (incl. controlled companies) extending to natural persons.

Please include your contact details in the Omaposti message. You can also include a description of your future plans and any service needs. Select ‘Corporate Customer’ as the topic of your message. Once we receive your message, we will call you as soon as possible and update the services to meet your company’s needs.

For instructions on how to update the company’s information in the Trade Register, visit the website of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office.

Do you want to start banking with us?

If the company you have acquired does not bank with us but you want to switch to us, you can start easily by filling in an online application. Fill in the application form for corporate customers online.

Before you send us the application, please wait until the details of your company’s key persons have been updated in the Trade Register.
