Norway has an efficient and well functioning banking system. The most common way to draw cash is by the use of a Minibank card (cash card /direct debit card), which is issued by all banks in Norway, with the pre-requisite that one has an account with the issuing bank. Debit cards are a common and useful form of payment and can be used in most shops, gas stations, etc. as an alternative to cash.

 

The most common ways to pay invoices are:

• Brevgiro - the bank account number and signature is filled out on the invoice and the invoice is sent in a pre-paid envelope

• Telegiro - payment is done via the telephone by use of a PIN code

• Internet - payment is done via the Internet

• Direct  - payment in the bank

Local post offices have responsibility for delivering and holding mail and packages for their specific area. The mail will be distributed from the local area post office.  Packages that are too large for the domestic mailbox must be picked up in person at the local post office upon issue of a standard notice left in the postbox. In case of extended travel, the local post office can be informed and for a fee will hold all post deliveries until a specified date.  Another possibility is to have the mail forwarded or relayed to another address in Norway.
