Background

Velliv is the result of a historical affiliation with TryghedsGruppen. Until 6 August 2015, customers of Nordea Liv & Pension and Tryg were automatically members of TryghedsGruppen. With the foundation of the new association on 6 August 2015, customers of Nordea Liv & Pension had their own, independent association.
