  Norion Bank encourages individuals who wish to report suspected irregularities to be open with their identity. Messages are treated confidentially.  Please note that only individuals directly connected to Norion Bank AB’s business are covered by the protection of the whistleblower legislation (Act 2021:890 on the Protection of Persons Reporting Irregularities).

Whistleblower complaints may also be filed externally with a competent authority in a specific area of responsibility or to any EU institutions, bodies and agencies.  

Protection under the law requires that internal reporting as described above has been carried out and that this resulted neither in reasonable follow-up measures nor feedback to a reasonable extent.  

Additionally, protection is provided for external reporting if the whistleblower has reasonable grounds to believe that the misconduct poses a risk that is life-threatening; or a risk to health, safety, or of significant environmental damage; or if the whistleblower has reason to believe that internal reporting would involve risk of retaliation or would make it unlikely that the misconduct would be effectively corrected.  

For Norion Bank, the relevant authority for external reporting is the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.

It is important that whistleblowers feel safe reporting irregularities. Personal data related to a whistleblowing case is processed only if necessary for a follow-up case. A follow-up case refers receiving a report from an internal or external channel and having contact with the whistleblower, taking measures to assess the accuracy of the allegations, submitting details about the investigated allegations for further action and providing feedback on the follow-up to the whistleblower. Personal data that are clearly irrelevant to the processing of a report/documentation of a whistleblowing case may not be collected.
