It operates as an independent savings bank via its headquarters in Røros, as well as a retail branch office in Oslo since 2006. Lending has traditionally been centred in Røros and the neighbouring mountainous region but currently constitutes a smaller portion of the portfolio as the bank has targeted growth in the metropolitan areas of Oslo and Trondheim. The bank is a member of the Eika Alliance, an association of close to 50 small and medium-sized Norwegian savings banks.
