EasyBank was founded as Verdibanken in 2003 as a commercial bank focusing on Christian values. After a successful equity issue of NOK 52m in December 2015, the bank finalized its restructuring process and decided to focus exclusively on consumer- and car financing. The transaction of NOK 200m provided the bank with a buffer to the regulatory capital requirements and enables EasyBank to grow significantly within the new segments.
