Northern European banking group scaling compliance automation and GenAI
SEB is a 10,000+ person banking group operating across 20 countries, with a tech stack anchored in Microsoft enterprise tools (Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure) and Java/Kafka microservices. The company is actively adopting Python and Google Gemini while phasing out C#, and hiring heavily in engineering and finance — a mix that reflects its dual focus on regulatory automation (IRB compliance, AML, financial crime prevention) and modernizing sales workflows via Copilot integration. Active projects show a systematic move toward process automation and GenAI for compliance and intelligence capture, addressing longstanding gaps in risk assessment and regulatory alignment.
