Nordbanken was a bank in Sweden, established in 1986 by merger of private local banks. In 1990 it was taken over by PKbanken, which subsequently adopted Nordbanken as its own name. The merged bank ran into financial distress during the 1990–1994 Swedish financial crisis, was nationalized in 1992, and eventually merged in 1997 with Finland's Merita Bank to form MeritaNordbanken, rebranded Nordea in 2000.
