Slik blir du bankkunde i Norge

Asylsøkerbevis får du når du søker om beskyttelse (asyl) i Norge. Beviset bekrefter at du har lov til å oppholde deg i Norge mens søknaden din behandles.

Det er Politiet som gir ut asylsøkerbevis. Derfor er det viktig at du tar kontakt med Politiet når du kommer til Norge.

Asylsøkerbevis er noe av det vi i banken spør etter når du søker om å bli kunde.

For flyktninger og asylsøkere med pass tilbys brukskonto, nettbank og bankkort. Du vil kunne utføre transaksjoner til utlandet og handle på nett.

Mangler pass tilbys fortsatt brukskonto, nettbank og bankkort, men kortet vil ikke kunne benyttes på nett og det vil i det aller fleste tilfeller heller ikke være mulig å utføre transaksjoner til utlandet.

Et oppholdskort er ditt bevis på at du har oppholdstillatelse i Norge. Du kan få oppholdskort etter du har søkt om asyl og søknaden din om opphold er ferdigbehandlet og innvilget.

Oppholdskortet er et et plastkort på størrelse med et bankkkort. Dette kortet vil banken se når du søker om å bli kunde.

Det kan ta inntil 4-6 uker å bli kunde når du er ny i Norge og må legitimere deg på ditt lokale DNB-kontor. Du starter med å fylle ut et skjema for å bli kunde. Deretter kontakter vi deg på e-post i løpet av tre virkedager med informasjon om hva som skjer videre.

Hvis du allerede har BankID fra en annen norsk bank, så kan du bli kunde i DNB med en gang. Det er raskt og enkelt.

We have two types of identification numbers in Norway: a national identity number and a temporary identification number, called the ‘D number’.

The D number may be used in connection with public and private services, such as paying taxes, getting a job, registering with a doctor (GP), renting or buying a home, or becoming a bank customer.

How to get a D number

• If you are an EU/EEA national coming to Norway to work for less than six months, you will receive a D number when you apply for a tax deduction card from the Norwegian Tax Administration (external website).
• If you have been granted a residence permit in Norway, you will receive your D number in a letter from the Norwegian Tax Administration about two weeks after your meeting with the police to order a residence card.
• If you are an asylum seeker og refugee, you will receive a D number when you arrive in Norway. You will receive your D number from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) or the National Police Immigration Service (PU) when you register as an asylum seeker.
  Refugees who arrive in Norway without being received at a National Arrivals Centre must contact the local police in order to register and obtain a D number.

You will receive a ‘card for asylum seeker’ when you apply for protection (asylum) in Norway. The card confirms that you are allowed to stay in Norway while your application is being processed.

Asylum-seeker cards are issued by the police. It’s therefore important that you contact the police when you arrive in Norway.

A ‘card for asylum seeker’ is one of the things we ask for in the bank when you apply to become a customer.

A residence card is proof that you have a residence permit in Norway. You’ll get a residence card once you’ve applied for asylum and your application for residency has been processed and approved.

The residence card is a plastic card the size of a bank card. In the bank, we’ll ask to see this card when you apply to become a customer.

If you have just recently arrived in Norway and need to verify your identity at your local DNB office, it may take up to 4–6 weeks to become a customer. You start by filling out an application form for becoming a customer. We'll contact you by email within three business days of receiving your application, giving you information about what will happen next.

If you already have BankID from another Norwegian bank, you can become a DNB right away – quickly and easily.

For refugees and asylum seekers who have a passport, we offer a current account, online bank access and a bank card. If you have a passport, you will be able to carry out international transactions and shop online.

For refugees and asylum seekers who do not have a passport, we offer a current account, online bank access and a bank card. Please note that without a passport, you will not be able to use the card online or carry out international transactions. In some cases, you may nevertheless be allowed to carry out international transactions.
