As in 2009, SEB Germany's website, www.seb.de, has been honoured once again for good results at the ibi banking website competition 2010, the most extensive research of web presences of financial institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The "ibi award" is annually handed out to those of around 160 examined internet sites that have proved to be first class when it comes to usability and quality of advice. This 
years' special focus was set on best practice in selling accounts and search-functionality. Analysts of the ibi consulting and research institute at the Regensburg university have checked the banks' online activities on the basis of about 300 criteria. SEB ranked first in the credit institutions category. In the overall ranking, SEB achieved a top ten position placed on position number eight.
