“With Svea as our dedicated owner, we can significantly accelerate our journey towards our goal of becoming a bank that empowers generation Z as they start their financial life,” says Kevin Albrecht, CEO of P.F.C.

P.F.C. will expand its consumer app with continued investments in modern and award-winning design, brand, technology and a fast-paced organization.
