Kaupthing Bank’s corporate culture centres on the common interests of the Bank and its clients by seeking to establish strong, long-term relationships between the two.

Corporate culture places a premium on the Bank’s human resources, through knowledge acquisition, job development, training and communication, leading to job satisfaction and a real sense of community. In this environment emphasis is placed on effective management, a clear definition of responsibility, straightforward work processes and a minimum of bureaucracy. In this way the Bank is able to serve its clients as well as possible by helping them to achieve their goals.
