Iceland­ic Eco­nom­ic Weekly: 15 Feb­ru­ary 2021

The panel of judges of the Pride Parade Fund of Reykjavík Pride and Landsbankinn have awarded grants to nine entries in this year’s Pride Parade.

Signing up for Landsbankinn’s app has never been easier – now everyone can try the app without any commitment. This step opens access to Landsbankinn’s services even further.

The Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs has retained Landsbankinn Corporate Finance as independent financial advisor for the management and supervision of the public offering or offerings of the State’s remaining shareholding in Íslandsbanki hf.

Björn Auðunn Ólafsson is the newest addition to Landsbankinn Corporate Finance and has already joined the team.

We have now launched a Polish version of our website, in addition to Icelandic and English. The Polish site contains information about our app, payment cards, currency exchange rates, supplementary pension savings, electronic ID, the Auðkenni app and more.

We have now added settings to Landsbankinn’s app that further enhance security in card transactions and banking. These settings allow you to easily deactivate certain payment card functions in the app and to reactivate them just as easily at your convenience. If necessary, you can activate emergency closure that suspends the function of all of your cards and shuts down access to the app and online banking.

Landsbankinn’s customers can use the Auðkenni app to log in and to authenticate in online banking and the app. Before long, it will also be possible to use the Auðkenni app for valid electronic signatures. This is particularly useful where there is an Internet connection but no phone connection, and for those who have non-Icelandic phone numbers.

Amaroq Minerals Capital Markets Day will be hosted in Landsbankinn‘s headquarters at Reykjastræti 6, Thursday, June 13th, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Icelandic time, GMT. The doors open at 1:30 pm and light refreshments will be served after the meeting.

We warn against emails that are currently being sent, ostensibly in Landsbankinn’s name. The email states that the recipient’s bank account with Landsbankinn has been closed and asks people to click on a link to log in. This is an attempt to get people to enter their login information on a fraudulent site.

Landsbankinn awarded sixteen students with scholarships from the Bank’s Community Fund on 31 May. This was the Bank’s 35th allocation of scholarships which this year amounted to ISK 8 million in total. Over 400 applications were received this year.
