There is no single price for a business account in Norway. What you pay depends on the provider and on how much you transact, in which currencies, and how. Below are the common fee types and a few current reference points, each with an as of date. Confirm the latest price list with the provider.

The fees to expect in Norway

Most Norwegian business accounts combine a few recurring charges with per transaction fees. Typical items are online banking and payment fees, card fees, charges for international transfers, and a margin applied to currency conversion. Some providers add a monthly subscription, while others charge mainly per use. Read each provider price list in full, since the headline figure rarely tells the whole story.

Reference points at a major bank

As of 8 May 2026, DNB charges no fee to become a corporate customer, and its standard corporate operations account pays no interest. A corporate currency account is priced at the reference rate minus a standard margin of 2.50 percent, and a security deposit account costs NOK 500 to open through the corporate online bank. These figures come from the DNB price list and can change, so verify the current terms with DNB before relying on them.

Traditional banks compared with neobanks

Local banks such as DNB, Nordea, and SpareBank 1 price for Norwegian krone activity, branch access, and local services. International providers such as Wise Business and Revolut Business focus on cross border payments and holding multiple currencies, often with no monthly subscription on basic use and fees charged per transaction. Which is cheaper depends on your own mix of domestic and international activity, so compare both against your usage.

How to keep fees down

  1. List your real monthly activity, including payment volume, currencies, and card use, then price each provider against that list rather than the headline fee.
  2. Check the full price list for charges on international transfers and currency conversion, since these often matter more than the monthly fee for companies that trade abroad.
  3. Confirm the current terms with the provider before you apply, because fees and eligibility change.
