SWIFT/BIC codes in Norway: banks starting with T

Bank SWIFT codes for Norway

For Norway we have 731 SWIFT/BIC codes, spread over 306 banks. You will need a SWIFT/BIC code mostly for payments across borders, and especially for payments in foreign currencies.

Look for the recipient’s bank in the list and open its page for all codes we have and the details a transfer needs. Further down you can read how a code from Norway is put together, how to send money there without overpaying and how to check a code before you pay.

Sending NOK to Norway

Norway uses the Norwegian Krone, with the currency code NOK. If you send money in a different currency, the amount gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or the receiving bank.

Who does the conversion has an effect on how much arrives, as rates and margins differ per bank. Check what NOK arrives via several providers before choosing one. With bigger transfers, even a small difference in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Norway and the SEPA area

Because Norway is in the SEPA zone, a euro transfer to a bank in Norway usually only needs an IBAN. Many banks no longer ask for the BIC in that case.

A SWIFT code still come into play when the currency is not euros. Instant payments in euros are widely supported within SEPA, though not every bank offers them for every account. Provided no conversion is involved, a SEPA transfer is usually inexpensive.

Tracking a payment to Norway

How fast money reaches Norway depends on several factors: which currency you send, the number of banks in between, daily processing deadlines and time zones. Public holidays in either country can add a day or more, because banks do not process payments on those days.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi for faster and traceable payments. Each gpi transfer gets a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to see where the money is. Keep your transfer receipt until the recipient confirms – you will need it if something goes wrong.

Recognising a SWIFT code from Norway

A SWIFT code is either 8 or 11 characters long. The first four letters stand for the bank, characters five and six form the country code and characters seven and eight give the location.

No matter which bank, all Norway codes have the same country code in positions five and six: the ISO code of the country. Codes with a different country code belong to another country, even if the bank name looks familiar.

When a code ends in XXX, it means the head office, and the 8-character version leads to the same place. For most transfers the head office code is fine unless the recipient asks for a specific branch.

About our data and how to check a code

The most reliable source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient. If the code you have does not match our list, do not guess.

We collect bank codes from public sources and update our list from time to time. Still, banks merge or change codes, so information can be out of date. For a payment that matters, check the BIC with the recipient’s bank. GoldexPay is not a bank.

Be wary of payment requests with a new account – a common fraud method. Before paying, confirm changed details by phone, using a number you already had.

Storebrand Kapitalforvaltning and its SWIFT codes

Among the 306 institutions we list, Storebrand Kapitalforvaltning holds the most SWIFT/BIC codes of all banks in Norway. The head office of Storebrand Kapitalforvaltning has STKTNOK1000 and that code covers most payments.

The number of codes tells you more about how it registers branches and services than about its size. Paying someone at Storebrand Kapitalforvaltning? Use STKTNOK1000 unless a specific branch code is requested.

Bank or transfer service for Norway?

What you pay for a transfer to Norway is made up of more than one component. Besides the fee, intermediary banks can deduct a charge and, if currencies are converted, the bank usually uses a rate below the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate. An easy check: set the offered rate against the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

Specialist money transfer services often offer rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares the amount that arrives in Norway across services, which makes the cheapest option easy to spot.

Getting paid from abroad into an account in Norway

For an international payment into a Norway account, the person paying you has to have more than the BIC. In practice that means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code of your bank and sometimes your address.

Look up the bank in the list above and compare the code with your own bank details, but take the code from your own bank details when in doubt. It helps to add your bank’s name and city as well because some forms have separate fields for it.

Expect that the incoming amount is smaller than the amount on the sender’s receipt. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee, your bank may charge for incoming payments, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate comes on top. Agree with the sender who pays which costs before the money is sent.
