Where can I exchange euros or dollars for kroner, and change kroner back?

Where to change cash, what selling back costs and the customs limit.

Short answer

You can change euros or dollars into kroner, and kroner back, at FOREX stores in Norwegian cities and at Loomis at Oslo Airport. FOREX has 12 stores, including Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. Selling foreign notes back is free with a FOREX receipt and costs NOK 50 without one, and you need valid photo ID.

Currency in Norway: cards, cash and ATMs a payment card tapping a terminal, a phone with a simple payment icon and one krone coin

Why

  1. FOREX lists 12 stores in Norway, in Oslo, Ski, Lillestrøm, Jessheim, Drammen, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim.
  2. With FOREX BuyBack, added for NOK 79, you can sell back up to 50 per cent of the currency you bought, at most NOK 10,000, at the same rate within 30 days.
  3. Norges Bank's average rate for 2025 was NOK 11.7177 per euro and NOK 10.3912 per US dollar.

Details

When you sell travel currency at FOREX, you are paid in cash in kroner. You can also order currency on the FOREX website and collect it in a store, but online rates can differ from store rates. If you carry more than NOK 25,000 in cash, in any currency, into or out of Norway, you must declare it to Norwegian Customs.

Tip

Keep the FOREX receipt until you leave Norway: with it, selling unused notes back costs nothing.

What may differ

Outside the eight towns with FOREX stores, plan your exchange before you travel, or pay by card.
