SEB joins Komgo’s network to digitalisetrade finance in the Nordics
Date: 05/05/2026
SEB, a leading northern European financial services group with international reach, has joined Komgo’s network through the implementation of Konsole, the world’s leading multibank trade finance platform. The partnership supports the digitalisation of SEB’s trade finance workflows and expands the digital channels available to its corporate clients across the Nordic region and beyond.
As Nordic corporates continue to expand internationally and manage increasingly complex supply chains, demand for secure, standardised and efficient digital trade finance channels has accelerated. To better serve this demand, SEB is connecting to Konsole, giving its corporate clients a structured multibank pathway to manage bank guarantees,SBLCs, letters of credit and related trade finance instruments digitally — reducing manual processes, strengthening operational control, and improving visibility across the lifecycle of each transaction.
“Joining Komgo’s network is a natural step in SEB’s journey to enhance the digital trade finance experience to our corporate clients. Konsole provides a secure, standardised channel for controlled, faster and more transparent management of trade finance – across SEB and other banking relationships. This strengthens our digital services and shows our commitment to innovation in Nordic trade finance.”
Benjamin Swedberg, Head of Trade Finance, SEB
A secure, standardised channel for Nordic corporates
SEB’s corporate clients will be able to submit trade finance instructions via Konsole alongside their other banking partners, benefiting from real-time status updates, structured digital document exchange, and centralised audit trails. The integration aligns with emerging industry standards, providing a solid foundation for further automation across the trade finance lifecycle.
Building on this foundation,SEB also plans to roll out Market and Trakk in due course,further extending its digital trade finance offering with price quotation capabilities and end-to-end document traceability.
Strengthening Komgo’s Nordic footprint
SEB’s adoption of Konsole marks another step in Komgo’s continued growth across Europe, adding one of the most recognised names in Nordic banking to a network that already connects more than 300 corporates and financial institutions across 50 countries.
“We are delighted to welcome SEB to the Komgo network.SEB is one of the most respected financial institutions in the Nordics, with along-standing reputation for innovation and client service. Their adoption of Konsole reflects the growing momentum behind digital, standardised trade finance in Europe, and will deliver tangible benefits to the many corporates that rely on SEB as a core banking partner.”
