About
Maritime & Merchant Bank is a Norwegian bank financing vessels for shipowners and maritime investors around the world. From Oslo, we combine experience in banking and finance with knowledge of shipping and offshore.
Broad experience in banking and the maritime industry
In addition to credit, financial markets and risk management, our management and employees have backgrounds in ship finance and shipowning. This gives us different perspectives when assessing a project and the challenges facing our clients.
Shipping is an international industry where relationships matter. We take the time to get to know our clients and their vessels. This gives us a sound basis for assessing projects and finding financing that fits.
Financing vessels since 2017
Since we began banking operations in 2017, we have specialised in loans secured by first-priority mortgages on vessels. We finance tankers, dry bulk carriers, container ships, gas carriers, multipurpose vessels and car carriers. Within offshore, we offer financing for platform supply vessels and anchor-handling tug supply vessels. When assessing a project, we consider the vessel, its market and the business behind it.
Responsible banking
Careful credit assessment and sound risk management are part of our daily work. We consider both the client’s ability to service the loan and the underlying security. Environmental, social and governance factors form part of our client follow-up. We also work to prevent financial crime and protect client information. Maritime & Merchant Bank ASA holds a Norwegian banking licence and is supervised by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet).
Savings with no fixed term
Private individuals in Norway can apply for a digital savings account with us, with a variable interest rate and no fixed term. Online banking provides an overview of the account and lets you send secure messages to the bank.
