About us

Customer login

OMX Nordic Exchange has supported publicly listed companies since the 19th century and has vast experience in helping customers get the most out of the financial market. Our track record is a strong reason for choosing the Nordic Exchange when going public.

The reasons for going public and listing shares on an exchange differ from company to company, but often the main reason is the need for capital. A growing company may need an injection of new capital to realize, for example, expansion plans, increased R&D or intensified marketing. A listing gives access to capital.
