      How to send money to Norway

      How To Step Icon
      Step 1
      Examine alternatives, select the best, sign up
      Examine alternatives, select the best, sign up
      Several leading international money transfer companies let you send money to Norway quickly and easily.
      Selecting the best requires that you pay attention to your own requirements while comparing your alternatives.
      Once you do, sign up as an individual or business by giving all the information the company requires.
      Verifying your identity at this stage is usually a regulatory requirement.
      How To Step Icon
      Step 2
      Assess NOK exchange rates, get the transfer started
      Assess NOK exchange rates, get the transfer started
      Take a good look at the recent history of NOK exchange rates and determine if it is a suitable time to send money to Norway.
      Once you wish to begin the transfer process, request a rate quote from your service provider - either online or over the phone. Remember that the rate on offer might vary based on the transfer amount. Accepting the quote locks the rate in place.
      Providing the recipient's Norwegian bank account details comes next.
      How To Step Icon
      Step 3
      Make payment, track transfer's progress
      Make payment, track transfer's progress
      The company you select might give you more than one way to pay for your transfer. Use any of the available methods and make your payment.
      Your service provider will transfer money to Norway, into the beneficiary's bank account, after it receives your payment.
      The recipient stands to receive the money within a stipulated time frame.
      You may turn online to track your transfer's progress. You might also receive notifications via email or text messages.

      Currency Symbol and Swift Codes

      The Norwegian krone (NOK) is the official currency of Norway. One krone is divided into 100 øre. The plural of krone is kroner. In April 2010, the Norwegian krone was the 13th most traded currency in the world.

      Banks in Norway rely on SWIFT codes to facilitate incoming overseas money transfers. As a result, if you wish to send money to a Norwegian bank account, you will need the bank’s SWIFT code. The corresponding table lists SWIFT codes of some prominent banks in Norway.

      Case Study

      Andreas had to relocate to the United States because of work. Since he planned to return in a couple of years, his wife and children continued living in Norway. While his wife had a job, he decided to keep sending her some money so the family could maintain the same lifestyle as before. Turning to an American bank to carry out the transfers was an option, but he decided to compare all his alternatives. This is how the top bank and money transfer company stood head-to-head.

       BANKMONEY TRANSFER SERVICE
      Exchange rate$1 = NOK 7.4340$1 = NOK 7.6235
      Transfer fee$15$0
      Amount received for $2,000NOK 14,756.49NOK 15,247.00
      Transfer time2 to 6 days2 to 3 days
      Transfer optionsBank accountBank account
      Difference of NOK 490.51

      Andreas had more to gain by turning to the money transfer company than a better exchange rate, lower fees, and a quicker turnaround time. The company he selected let him lock in exchange rates whenever he found them to be favorable, and he could also schedule his transfers in advance.

       

      Cash Pickup Locations in Norway

      If the recipient does not have a bank account, or if you want to send money to Norway as quickly as possible, consider using the services of companies such as Western Union, MoneyGram, or Ria. These companies have extensive agent networks across Norway.

      Safety Tips for Picking Up Cash in Norway

      Levels of crime in Norway are typically low, although you should exercise basic precautions. Instances of petty crime such as bag snatching and pickpocketing in and around Oslo, at airports, and at train stations tend to increase during the tourist season, between May and September. Remain vigilant when walking after dark, and avoid shortcuts and poorly lit or desolate streets.

       

      What Information Do I Need to Transfer Money to Norway?

      The information you will need depends on the transfer method you choose.

      • Transfer to bank account. The information you need includes the recipient’s complete name, a bank account in the same name, the name of the receiving bank, and the receiving bank’s SWIFT code.
      • Transfer to cash pickup location. You will need the recipient’s complete name and the location of a cash pickup center from where the recipient will collect the transferred money. The recipient will need to present a transaction number and an acceptable form of ID to get the money.

       

      Regulations When Transferring Money To and From Norway

      Norges Bank (the central bank of Norway) watches over the country’s payment systems to maintain stability in its financial sector. There are no currency restrictions in place, which gives you the ability to send money to and from the country freely.

      If you have more than NOK 25,000 when entering Norway, you need to declare it to the country’s customs authorities.

      To transfer more than NOK 25,000 out of the country, you need advance approval from the Norwegian Customs, and you need to carry out the transfer using an approved bank or money transfer company. Failure to comply may lead to temporary confiscation of the excess currency, a significant fine, and even arrest.
