“We did not grow and we knew why,” said Niklas Nyberg, SEB’s head of institutional global custody, as he spoke in Wednesday’s digital PostTrade 360° Oslo conference – presenting the background to the operational partnership with Brown Brothers Harriman which matured from decades-long strategic consideration.

“In the past this had been a tech race, with providers telling clients about the gazillions they had invested into operations,” Niklas Nyberg tells – but describes how the technology challenge as such has gradually turned towards becoming a commodity, giving non-giants in the area a comeback opportunity.
