As a securities service, VP is the central organisation for registering securities in Denmark, and its systems ensure that securities trading takes place quickly, cheaply and securely for the benefit of issuers, traders and investors.

VP is the leading supplier of investor services on the Danish market.

VP was established in 1980 as a private, independent institution. In 1983, Denmark became the first country in the world to introduce paperless registration of listed bonds. All listed shares followed suit in 1988. Since then, VP has built up one of the world’s most advanced systems for managing electronic securities. In 2006, VP started its investor service business by taking over both Danske Bank’s and Nordea’s business units regarding registers of shareholders. In 2007, VP also acquired a calculation system from Totalkredit and issued the first mortgage loans in Mexico issued according to the Danish model.
