When we receive a signed agreement from you, we register the new interest rate and lock-in period you want.

When we register the fixed rate agreement for your loan, we will use the price that applies for fixed rate loans that day.
For your peace of mind, we will contact you if the price has increased by 0.10 percentage points or more relative to that stated in the agreement.
You will then have the opportunity to decide whether you still want to fix the interest rate. If our price is lower than stated in the agreement you sent in, you will of course get the lower price.

Questions and answers
According to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway’s guidelines, you need 15% of the home’s purchase price in equity.
If you do not have enough equity it is still possible to consider other solutions if you have additional security in, for example, your parents’ home.
As a co-borrower of a home mortgage, you are jointly and severally liable for ensuring the entire loan is repaid. This means that each and every borrower is responsible for the entire loan.
- To add a co-borrower to an existing home loan, you need to apply for a new loan.
- If you want to remove the co-borrower from a home loan application, you can send us a new application, selecting I am the sole borrower.
- When an adviser calls you, tell them which application is the right one.
If you do not have enough equity, we can consider using additional security in a different home. You need 15% of the home’s purchase price in equity, according to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway’s guidelines.
You can borrow up to 100% of the purchase sum with additional security in your parents’ home, for example.
A mortgage guarantor is a person who places their own property as additional security for a loan. For example, this might be your parents.
Refinancing is a collective term for making changes to existing loans.
This can be moving loans from one bank to another or increasing your home mortgage because you want to release equity in a home.
Refinancing can also be bringing several smaller loans together into a new loan.
Joint debt is debt that belongs to a housing cooperative, and everyone who has an occupancy right or share of an apartment in a housing cooperative, also owns a share of the debt.
The debt is often taken out to carry out works on the housing cooperative that will benefit all of the apartments or residents, for example renovating bathrooms, replacing windows, refurbishing the facade or building balconies. You repay the joint debt monthly along with the joint expenses. High joint debt also means high rent.
NB! Joint debt counts as part of your debt and has an impact on how much you can borrow from the bank.

Have two people taken out a home mortgage together and you want to take over the entire home mortgage yourself?
You will need to apply for a new mortgage.
Log into the online bank and use the “New loan customer” application.

Questions and answers
We must always have security for our home mortgages and therefore we must register mortgages. The mortgage value of your home must be at least the same as the home mortgage.

Annuity loans An annuity loan means that you repay the loan in equal amounts every month until the loan is paid down – and this is the most common form of loan. At the beginning, the instalment/principal repayment part is small, while the interest rate part is large. As time passes, the instalment part increases and the interest rate part decreases. Because you pay the same amount every month, annuity loans make it easier to keep track of your finances. If the interest rate changes, the monthly amount also changes, but that’s the same for all loans – unless you choose to fix the interest rate.
Serial loan is a loan where the amount you pay down on the loan, i.e. the principal part, is the same every month. But because the loan gets smaller, the interest portion per month will be lower. With a serial loan, you pay more at the beginning of the loan period and less over time.
Home equity credit lines
When you make extra payments against the home equity credit line, the instalment amount is reduced. The term is the same as before.
Pay it like a normal bill, entering the loan number as the account number.
Tip! If you pay 4 days before or closer to the due date, the payment will also cover the normal instalment.

For security reasons, there is a general maximum limit of NOK 300 000 for transfers in the online bank.

Questions and answers
It’s usually a normal home mortgage, but with much greater flexibility for you. For example, if you have a home worth 2 million, you can borrow up to 60% of the value of the home. So, that is 1.2 million. If you only have a loan of 1 million today, this means you have 200 000 that you can use for whatever you want.
When you’ve settled your home equity credit line, you can borrow up to the limit again without talking to us about it. The money within the limit is at your disposal. Urgently need to spruce up the bathroom or buy a sailboat? Consider it done.
You can make up to 10 transfers per day and there is no minimum withdrawal.
For security reasons, a general maximum limit of NOK 300 000 has been set for transfers in the online bank. This applies to all transfers, both from and account and from a home equity credit line, and applies to one calendar month.

No, only variable interest rates are available for home equity credit lines (rammelån). If you want to fix the interest rate on the loan, we will have to change it to a normal repayment loan first.

Fixed-rate loans
About 6 weeks before the expiry date, you’ll receive an online reminder, with an indication of our prices for a new fixed rate and a variable rate.
Three weeks before the expiry date, you will then receive a binding offer from us. We’ll send this to you by regular post and to the online bank.
The offer has a deadline for a response. You must answer us by the deadline if you want a new fixed rate at the price specified in the offer.
If you don’t do anything, the loan will be switched to a variable rate on the expiry date. You can of course fix the interest rate at any time later.
When the expiry date has passed, we will send you a confirmation of the new terms and conditions.
You can apply for fixed rate interest via the link below.
When we register the fixed rate agreement for your loan, we will use the price that applies for fixed rate loans that day.
For your peace of mind, we will contact you if the price has increased by 0.10 percentage points or more relative to that stated in the agreement.
You will then have the opportunity to decide whether you still want to fix the interest rate. If our price is lower than stated in the agreement you sent in, you will of course get the lower price.
For a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate is fixed until a specific expiry date (3, 5 or 10 years in the future).
When the fixed rate agreement ends, the loan automatically reverts to a variable interest rate, unless you decide to fix the interest rate again.
If you are considering switching from a fixed rate to a variable rate before the expiry date, you may incur additional costs if a share premium arises.
Contact us and we’ll look at your loan together.
You can apply for an interest-only period on a fixed-rate loan that is within 60% of the home value. You can apply for an interest-only period either in the online bank or in the mobile banking app. A change like this may result in a premium or discount on the loan. If we see that the change will incur costs for you, we will contact you before making the change.
Log in using the link below.
Select Apply for interest-only period under Loan changes.
Choose the desired interest-only period and submit it by confirming.
Questions and answers
A fixed-rate loan has special conditions. If you wish to make extra payments, make changes or terminate the fixed-rate loan during the agreement period, you should contact us first to check whether there is a premium or discount on the loan.
You can reach our mortgage advisers by phone on 915 04800
Yes, it’s possible to take the fixed-rate loan with you if you move homes. You do not need to redeem the loan.
There are a number of things to bear in mind when considering whether to choose a fixed or variable interest rate on your home mortgage. You can also choose to combine fixed and variable interest rates.
A premium or discount may arise if you make changes to the loan - redeem the loan, make an extra payment, get an interest-only period or extend/shorten the payment period - before the interest rate commitment period is over.
Premium (interest rate loss): If the interest rate on new fixed-rate loans is lower than the interest rate on your fixed-rate loan, the difference constitutes a loss for the bank. In this comparison, we will look at new fixed-rate loans with interest rate lock-in periods that correspond to the remaining lock-in period you have on your loan. If you break the fixed-rate agreement before the interest rate lock-in period is over, you’ll have to pay the interest rate loss. The same applies if you make additional payments against the fixed-rate loan, or make changes to the repayment plan.
Discount (interest rate profit): If the interest rate on new fixed-rate loans is higher than the interest rate on your fixed-rate loan, the difference will constitute an interest rate gain. In this comparison, we will look at new fixed-rate loans with interest rate lock-in periods that correspond to the remaining lock-in period you have on your loan. The main rule is that you will get an interest rate gain if it has been more than one year since you fixed the interest rate.
You can deduct any interest loss/premium from your tax return, while any interest gain/discount is taxable.
If you sell your home without buying a new one, you must redeem the fixed-rate loan. Contact us to find out whether this will incur additional costs.
Questions and answers
A pre-qualification letter or loan confirmation is a confirmation from the bank of the desired loan requirement so you can act quickly when you find the car you want to buy. The loan confirmation is valid for 3 months.
A loan confirmation is great to have if you are unsure about which car to buy, but want to know if you can get a loan.
We always release the charge and pay any remaining balance to the seller.
If the charge is larger than the loan, the seller must first pay the amount that exceeds the loan and send confirmation to us. We then settle the outstanding debt.
Yes, you can also do this in your online bank.
- Go to My loans and credit cards
- Car loans
- Apply for a car loan
- Here you’ll find My applications.
Remember to enter the correct information about the car before the pre-qualification letter is changed to Loan application. Please resubmit.
When DNB Finans has received all of the signed documents, as well as a copy of the signed purchase contract and the correct copy of confirmed proof of identity, the loan will be paid to the seller provided there is no charge on the car.
Confirmation to the seller can be found with the loan documents.
The loan will be transferred to the seller when the car is registered to a new owner. Setting up a Car Loan can be helpful in confirming this to the seller.
