Ari Kaperi, Nordea's senior executive for Finland in a release said the bank does not have any plan to begin charging fee on deposits from their customers.
According to the company, Nordea Bank AB’s chief executive officer Christian Clausen’s interview with news agency Bloomberg on Wednesday was to some extent misinterpreted.

Similarly OP Pohjola wished to allay fears of a deposit fee.
Jussi Huttunen, excutive vice president at OP Pohjola Group told news agency STT that there is no plan to introduce deposit fee.
"Hopefully this does lead to that kind of debate whether to have money in your hands or money at the bank. Money in the bank is always the safe choice," said Hutunen.
