Svenska Handelsbanken AB is a Nordic bank with international operations, providing a comprehensive range of financial services including corporate banking, investment banking, trading, and consumer banking such as loans, savings, and insurance. Headquartered in Sweden, Handelsbanken has a strong nationwide branch network and maintains a significant presence in other key markets including Norway, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, where it operates with a focus on decentralised decision-making and long-term customer relationships.

Since the mid-1990s Handelsbanken has been expanding its universal banking operations into the other Nordic countries, and also in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The largest of these is in Britain with more than 150 branch offices. In October 2021 Handelsbanken announced that it would focus on its main markets Britain, Sweden and Norway and sell its operations in Finland and Denmark.
