Lands­bankinn changes fixed rates on hous­ing mort­gages

Today is the last day the Landsbankinn branch in Austurstræti 11 is open and the doors close at 16:00. All activities move to the Bank’s new branch in Reykjastræti 6, which is already open.

Customers can buy Danish bank notes in Landsbankinn branches and ATMs throughout Iceland. We would like to advise customers that the Bank no longer accepts DKK 1,000 and 500 bills, nor any Faroe Islands króna bills. There are no changes to transactions in DKK 200, 100 and 50 bills. Cash transactions comply with the Act on Actions to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Tighter rules in Denmark limit the reception of bank notes by foreign banks and Landsbankinn is as a result no longer able to accept DKK 1,000 and 500 bills.

Amaroq Minerals, under the ticker AMRQ, has now been listed on the Main Market of Nasdaq Iceland. In addition to listing on the Nasdaq Iceland Main Market, Amaroq’s shares are listed on stock exchanges in Canada (TSX-V) and London (AIM). Alongside uplisting to the Main Market of Nasdaq Iceland, Amaroq has been delisted from First North Iceland. Amaroq Minerals is the first listed mining company in Iceland. The company holds a significant licence portfolio in Greenland and is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties and other strategic mineral assets, pivotal to the energy transition. Landsbankinn Corporate Finance co-ordinated the listing process. We congratulate the staff and shareholders of Amaroq on the successful transfer of the company’s listing.

We’d like to call your attention to changes to the RSA SecurID app used for secure login and payments in corporate online banking.

This is a warning concerning a fake website made to look like that of Auðkenni and which includes a fraudulent connection to Landsbankinn.

On 13 September, the opening hours of seven branches will be shortened by three hours and will as a result be 12:00-15:00. While general opening hours will be shorter, customers can still make appointments to visit these branches between 10:00-16:00 and book remote meetings until 18:00, meaning that actual service hours remain unchanged. ATMs are accessible around the clock in all these locations.

A new exhibition of art from Landsbankinn's collection will be opened in the event of Reykjavík Culture Night in the Bank’s branch at Austurstræti 11. The exhibition is titled Cyclical and is curated by Daría Sól Andrews.
