Den norske Bank or DnB was a Norwegian bank that existed between 1990 and 2003 when it merged with Gjensidige NOR to form the present DnB NOR. The bank had it's headquarters in Bergen, Norway.
DnB was created as a merger between Bergen Bank and Den norske Creditbank in 1990 after a major downturn in the economy, especially effecting the banks, who lost vast amounts of money due to misheld loans and falling housing prices. The state held a majority ownership in the bank in addition to it being listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. In 1996 DnB bought Vital Forsikring and in 1999 it merged with Postbanken.
