Closing a customer account with a company, team or association

Get the necessary documentation from the online bank before closing the customer account. This includes vouchers, bank statements and annual statements. If you have to order copies at a later date, a fee will be charged.
Reset the balance on the company’s accounts. Accrued interest will be automatically added upon termination.
If the company has funds in a tax withholding account, you must apply for a release from the Norwegian Tax Administration before you start closing your customer account. You can apply for a release on the Tax Administration’s website.
In order to close a security deposit account, both the liquidation committee and the counterparty must sign.
