FX spot trading
Trades below NOK 1 000 000 are made directly in the online bank. For transactions exceeding one million, the FX broker can be contacted directly by telephone.
This may be appropriate, for example, when buying a holiday home abroad, when the property must be paid for in foreign currency.
