Key Highlights
• To minimize cash handling costs, banks in Norway are slowly adapting branches into cashless locations. In 2014, 64 branches of DNB Bank were made cashless. Similarly, Nordea bank stopped handling cash-based transactions at its branches from October 2015, although it ensures that cash is still available in ATMs. This initiative is anticipated to accelerate the shift towards electronic payments.
• The uptake of alternative payments among Norwegian consumers is gaining traction with the emergence of a number of payment options. Seqr was launched in January 2013, followed by MeaWallet in October 2014. In October 2015, SpareBank 1 acquired mCash; at the time of its acquisition mCash had 100,000 users and 600 stores accepting the mCash service. To increase the uptake of its mobile payments, Danske Bank launched MobilePay in September 2015. The bank partnered with 100 retail outlets in Norway in October 2015. In early 2016 it partnered with supermarket chain Rema 1000, allowing users to use service stores in Norway.
• DNB Bank launched the country’s first mobile person-to-person (P2P) solution, Vipps, in May 2016. Payments can be made by users to recipients' mobile numbers without the need for bank account details. Users need to link their mobile number, debit card, bank account and national identity number to use the service. Within six months of introduction, more than 1 million users had downloaded the app, and as of March 2016, one in four Norwegians used the solution, which is accessible to any bank account holder in the country.
