Open a bank account

Checklist step 5 · back to checklist

To open an account you must be resident in Norway, have valid ID (passport or national ID card) and a Norwegian identity number (D number or national identity number). You need a Norwegian account to receive salary, pay bills and use Vipps; most shops accept international cards.

Banks: see the provider table. Users on r/Norway describe DNB as easy for newcomers (anecdotal). Advertising/affiliate: bank links in the provider table are placeholder affiliate links.
