Early 2018, seven major Nordic banks* agreed on a common vision and
some core principles

   The vision of P27 is to …                                         … following some guiding principles

                                                                       1 P27 should support a level playing field

        integrated region for domestic                                 3 P27 should align on international
        and cross-border payments in                                     standards as a ground rule
        multiple currencies through an                                 4 Simplification may require sacrifices in

                                                                       7 P27 should aspire to the highest level of
