Banking and currency

Have you remembered to withdraw currency or order travel insurance? There is an ATM in the departures hall, to the left of the escalator.

Other currencies may be purchased from banks in the centre of Bodø, where all major Norwegian banks have branches. The centre of Bodø is a mere 5 minutes car drive or a 15 minute walk.

Advice for using credit cards abroa

• preferably bring two different cards, e.g. one Visa card and one Mastercard or other credit card
• check your balance before travelling
• When withdrawing cash, make sure no-one sees you entering your pin code and beware of people trying to be helpful
• Always check that the total sum is completed and correct before signing a sales invoice. Retain all receipts.
• Always check that the amount is in the correct currency. There are substantial differences between e.g. EURO and GBP.
• block lost/stolen cards as soon as possible, also if they are swallowed by ATMs.
