Danske Bank Lithuania celebrating its 10th anniversary and is one of the first and today also the largest technology and global service centre in the Baltic States. It began in 2012 with just nine colleagues, and Danske Bank Lithuania has within the past decade grown into more than 4,200 colleagues in a modern and popular workplace.

Performing the most advanced solutions is a recognition of Lithuania’s talents

“In our first decade in Lithuania, we have reached a maturity that is defined by the growth of competent people and the advanced solutions they develop. 2012–2013 was a kind of test year for Lithuania, and we shattered all the myths about our country and its talents. Starting with the simplest banking operations, we surpassed 300 employees after the first year, as more business units of Danske Bank had positive experiences with growing teams in Lithuania.  In 2014, we established the IT Competence Centre, responsible for maintenance and development of the Bank’s infrastructure and technological solutions," Ramūnas Bičiulaitis, General Manager of Danske Bank Lithuania, says.

Elijus Čivilis, CEO of Invest Lithuania,  congratulates Danske Bank Lithuania on its 10 years anniversary, providing global services and solutions from Lithuania. He says that the company’s steady growth in Lithuania is yet another success story, confirming that the Lithuanian investment environment is favourable to service centres development. 

Today, one fifth of Danske Bank’s nearly 22,000 employees work in Lithuania. Its work is, according to Mr. Bičiulaitis, critical to ensuring the Group’s competitive advantage now and in the future. “The goal for our Centre in Lithuania for the next five years is to add value to the Group by developing innovative technology solutions for the Bank and its customers,” he highlights.
