The Group includes brands such as DNB, Vital, Nordlandsbanken, Cresco, Postbanken, DnB NORD and Carlson. DNB's head office is located in Oslo.

The two largest owners of DNB are the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry (34.0%) and Sparebankstiftelsen DnB NOR (10.0%). The latter was created as a foundation with the sole purpose of owning part of the company. It was created when Gjensidige NOR was made a public limited company to ensure that the companies' customers retained partial ownership of the company. The foundation also can give up to 25% of its received dividend as gifts to charity.

As of April 2011, Postbanken and its brand has been merged with the DNB Group.
