OP Uusimaa

For many people moving to Finland, money questions pile up quickly, especially around how to invest in Finland as a foreigner without making costly mistakes.

Finland is often described as one of the safest and most digitally advanced countries in the world, and that’s largely true.

If you arrive in Finland expecting to rely on cash “just in case,” you’ll quickly notice how little you actually need it.

If there’s one concept that surprises foreigners most when moving to Finland, it’s strong authentication.

Opening a bank account in Finland as a foreigner is rarely anyone’s idea of fun. In Finland, the process is straightforward once you understand the order of steps, but missing one detail can easily slow things down.

The election for the Representative Assembly of OP Uusimaa will be held between 3 and 13 November. Chair of OP Uusimaa's Board Annukka Nikola encourages people to vote and influence their bank's operations. Fund investments worth one thousand euros will be raffled among voters.

By the summer, OP Uusimaa had more than 380,000 owner-customers. We're all different, which is great – we hope to see this reflected in the Representative Assembly soon to be elected.

Nature can be protected by promoting wildflowers and fighting invasive species. One way to help is to let your lawn grow wild," says Matti Saarni, an expert from the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation.

Nina Degerman, Jüri Linros and Sini Suomalainen recommend running for the Representative Assembly of OP Uusimaa. All three have continued to make a difference on the Supervisory Council.

Many would not change the position of a bank manager for a retailer’s career, but for Matti Salo, it felt like the right choice.

A bank can offer much more than just financing. This is how OP Uusimaa helps companies at different stages of their life cycle.
