What is a client account?

A client account is suitable for lawyers, estate agents, fund managers, debt collection agencies and other businesses that are subject to special regulations about holding and managing client funds. This applies to those who, under statutory regulations, are obliged to keep their own funds and client funds separate.

Two types of client accounts can be opened

  1. Pooled account: one account for multiple clients
  2. Separate client account: one account per client

A pooled account is opened in the client manager’s name. For separate client accounts, the client’s national identity number or organisation number must also be registered.

Client account FAQ

How do I open an account?

Is it the first time you’re opening a client account?

  • Contact your customer adviser at the bank or customer services by phone on +47 915 04800.
  • A client account must be opened with the client manager’s registration no.
  • Only the client manager can manage the account.

After the first client account has been opened, more client accounts can easily be opened in the corporate internet bank. You must be registered as a user of the internet bank and have authorisation to order.

What are the interest rates?

See price list here.

What is the maximum amount?

The Norwegian Banks' Guarantee Fund guarantees up to NOK 2 million for the individual depositor. The maximum amount applies even if the depositor has several accounts at the bank. For client funds in a pooled client account, the client manager is the depositor under the deposit guarantee scheme.

If you’re not sure whether incoming payments to your business fall under applicable provisions on the management of client funds, we recommend that you get in touch with your customer adviser.
