Bank Norwegian review

The monthly fee is NOK 0 on the credit card, so there is no standing charge to budget for. That puts the card at 1 of 379 brands in our crypto card data on this measure.

The currency conversion fee is 0%, which is the strongest of the costs we track. It ranks 1 of 237 crypto cards, so spending in another currency does not add a conversion charge to the bill.

The card runs on visa, so it should be accepted wherever Visa is accepted. Visa is also the most common network in our crypto card data, which makes it the safer choice of network for a card used abroad.

The card comes from Bank Norwegian, a branch of NOBA Bank Group AB, as Bank Norwegian, en filial av NOBA Bank Group AB (publ) shows. The card itself is a credit card rather than a debit card, and travel is its one listed feature under travel.

It is a credit card built for travel, with travel the only feature listed under travel. Debit cards make up the bulk of crypto cards in our data, so anyone expecting a debit account for everyday spending should look elsewhere.

Customer service runs through a help centre, which is the only channel listed under help centre. There is no phone or live chat option recorded, so it suits people who are comfortable resolving questions in writing.

The bank was founded in 2007, so it is an established operation rather than a new entrant. Its card product is aimed at travel, and it is issued through NOBA Bank Group AB.

On the two costs we can price, yes: the monthly fee is NOK 0 and the currency conversion fee is 0%. Other costs, such as spending outside Norway or any credit interest, are not part of what we hold, so check the terms before you rely on the card abroad.
