Bank Account

Students staying less than six months

• If you are staying for less than six months, you will need a d-number to open a bank account. 
• This is a complicated process if you are not employed, check with your home bank for alternatives.
• If your home bank does not charge substantial fees, we recommend that you do not open a bank account in Norway.
