History

SEBx was founded to keep the bank relevant in the future. And to deal with disruptions and risks.

SEB´s CEO, together with a group of people decided to put together a small team at the fringe of the bank to be the x division.
This team got the mandate to operate outside conventional structures, and legacy processes, but with full access to everything the bank has to offer. 
It was decided that within that mandate, the team independently chooses the best way to act and proceed.

Today, we still exists on these conditions and we are fully dedicated to lead the way into the future of emerging technologies and ground breaking innovations.

2018 - The SEBx innovation studio was started.

2022 - SEBx got its first external customer and the business unit SEB Embedded was born.

2023 - This year SEBx restarts as SEBx 2.0.
