context_page_description: Jöns Peter Hemberg was a Swedish banker and member of parliament. He founded Skånes Enskilda Bank in 1830, together with Gustav Berghman, and Gustaf Hagerman, which later merged with Skandinaviska Kreditaktiebolaget.
context_section_description: Hemberg made his fortune as a commodity merchant. In 1805, he began managing Ystad's auction chamber, through which he acquired some of the largest estates in Scania, including Öja in 1812, Tunbyholm Castle in 1818, and Smedstorp Castle in 1820. He went on to represent Ystad as a member of parliament in 1823, 1828–30, 1834–35, during which he successfully managed to get financing to expand Ystad's harbour, as well as actively blocking Trelleborg's attempts to regain its city and trading privileges, which otherwise would have made Trelleborg a serious competitor as a trading centre in the region.
  Hemberg founded Skånes Enskilda Bank together with Gustav Berghman, and Gustav Hagerman. The bank was one of the oldest and largest private banks in Sweden. In 1904 it acquired Göteborgs Köpmansbank, and went on to merge with Göteborgs largest private bank, Skandinaviska Kreditaktiebolaget. Skandinaviska Kreditaktiebolaget, which changed its name to Skandinaviska Banken in 1939, went on to merge with Stockholms Enskilda Bank in 1972 to form Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, or SEB, today one of the largest nordic banks.
