Where can I deposit cash into my bank account in Norway?
Cash deposits in shops, limits, fees and your bank's duty.
Short answer
You can deposit up to NOK 20,000 in cash at the checkout in about 1,460 NorgesGruppen shops, such as Meny, Kiwi and Spar, with a BankAxept card. The service is called Kontanttjenester i butikk, deposits are free for private customers, and you do not need to buy anything. Your bank must also make sure you can deposit cash.
Why
- Since 1 October 2022, every bank must make sure its customers can deposit and withdraw cash, either on its own or through agreements with others.
- Kontanttjenester i butikk is a shared solution for depositing and withdrawing cash in NorgesGruppen grocery shops across the country.
- DNB lists a maximum deposit of NOK 20,000 and a limit of 25 coins of each denomination.
Details
At the checkout you insert or tap your BankAxept card and enter your PIN, and you need the card and PIN every time. Shops that offer the service are marked at the till. Deposits are free for private customers, while a cash withdrawal costs NOK 10 for customers over 18 and is limited to NOK 10,000.
Tip
Ask your own bank which other ways to deposit cash it offers, because each bank can arrange cash services itself or through partners.
What may differ
Business customers pay NOK 75 per deposit in the shop scheme. The service needs a card marked with BankAxept.
