Norway's dominant mobile payment app, tied to a bank account and BankID; acceptance is a venue-by-venue decision.

The default route for funding an exchange account from a Norwegian bank.

BankID is the near-universal Norwegian e-identification method underpinning bank logins, but whether a venue uses it depends on the venue.

Card funding of a crypto purchase is an issuer decision, with no regulatory prohibition on it.

WORKS

No prohibition on person-to-person crypto transfer; the tax authority treats it as a realisation, so the risk is counterparty risk.

22 percent capital income tax on gains from virtual assets, plus wealth tax. Virtual assets such as cryptocurrency, digital tokens and other digital values count as property (formuesobjekter) for tax purposes and all income from them is taxable. Every realisation is a taxable event - selling, and equally swapping one virtual asset for another, is a realisation; a gift transfer is not.

Crypto trading in Norway is legal.

Norway residents can choose from 31 platforms, including Aevo, ApeX and Aster.

In Norway, crypto accounts can be funded using Vipps, Bank transfer (SEPA/domestic NOK) and BankID-verified bank login.
