Danske Bank is a Danish bank, founded in 1871 as Den Danske Landmandsbank, Hypothek- og Vexelbank i Kjøbenhavn. Headquartered in Copenhagen, it is the largest bank in Denmark and a major retail bank in the northern European region with over 5 million retail customers. In September 2018, CEO Thomas Borgen resigned after admitting that the vast majority of EUR 230 billion flowing through Danske Bank's Estonian branch was money-laundered cash flowing illegally out of Russia, the UK and the British Virgin Islands.
