„Landsbankinn’s success in 2021 is largely grounded on successful work based on its strategy, approved in 2020. One of our key strategic goals is to enhance customer satisfaction. We are very proud and delighted that the Bank topped the Icelandic Performance Satisfaction Index in 2021, for the third year running, an outcome confirmed by our own customer satisfaction surveys.“

„The services we offer, digital service channels, personal advice or other, are usually the last link in a long chain. In order to offer first-rate service, the entire chain must hold. Landsbankinn’s chain is extremely strong and underpins the Bank’s success.“
