PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Bright outlook ahead for debit cards
Debit cards face little threat and will remain popular over the forecast period given the high penetration of bank accounts in Norway and their almost universal acceptance among merchants. Growth will be linked to secondary debit cards and population growth allowing the number of cards to rise and exceed the threshold of eight million cards over the forecast period.
Mobile wallet payments are forecast to gain popularity
While cash is becoming more irrelevant in Norwegian society, mobile payments are expected to gain popularity. The biggest change in payment trends over the review period has been the transition to smartphones where debit card details are digitally stored in a mobile wallet.
Nordea Bank to bolster position following acquisition of Danske Bank’s personal clients
Nordea Bank’s acquisition of Danske Bank’s personal clients in late 2024 is expected to boost Nordea’s share in personal debit cards, although this poses low threat to the dominance of DNB. In operators, Mastercard and Visa are expected to continue increasing their combined share for the same reasons that increased in the review period.

Debit Card Transactions
Debit cards merge the functionality of both an ATM card and direct payment from a bank account (a check substitute in some markets). A debit card allows the cardholder to receive cash and monitor account activity at an ATM machine, as well as pay for goods and services via a point-of-sale terminal. A debit card payment transaction involves the automatic withdrawal of funds from the cardholder’s demand deposit bank account (checking or giro). Since the funds are removed from a bank account, no interest is charged on payments. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
