SEB the "Bank of the Year 2011''

The Banker magazine has named SEB the Bank of the Year 2011 in three countries:
Sweden, Estonia and Latvia. The Bank of the Year awards acknowledge the banks
with the best overall performance in their country.

"We are very honoured to be recognised as the best bank in Sweden, Estonia and
Latvia by The Banker. I am very grateful for the amazing team effort across SEB;
a team that always has our customers in focus," Annika Falkengren, President and
CEO, says.

The awards for 2011 were presented at a ceremony in London on 30 November. Close
to 500 commercial banks entered the awards. The Banker is the world's premier
banking and finance magazine and is read in 150 countries around the world.

"Swedish banks have acquired a safe haven reputation over the past 18 months and
SEB's reputation looks richly deserved," Philip Alexander, Finance Editor of The
Banker, said.
