Equinor share savings programme

DNB Carnegie supports Equinor employees who wish to purchase shares in their own company. Here we provide information as to how you, as an employee, can do this.

To purchase shares in the Equinor savings programme, you first have to provide proof of identity and set up a VPS account. Proof of identity can be provided using BankID.

The VPS account you receive, which starts with the numbers 07915, is reserved for employees only. This must be terminated if you leave Equinor. More information about how to transfer or sell shares when ending your employment can be found on the previous page, and below.

Proof of identity and opening of a VPS account:

Digitally using BankID

This is how you can provide proof of identity and gain access to the equity trading service and a VPS account with BankID:

Log in with your date of birth and BankID using the link to the right and answer the questions (legally required). You'll find the login both in the upper right and lower left under this text.

NOTE! You will gain access to the account you can use in the savings program as soon as the application is processed. The account will start with the digits 07915.

BankID from a bank other than DNB is sufficient identification for re-authentication. A new customer account will not be created. Do you however, already have an online banking agreement with us, you may log in to our online bank like usual via this page (using BankID from another bank).

Without BankID

It is unfortunately not possible to participate in Equinor's share savings program without authenticating yourself with BankID. Click on the link below to obtain BankID or to re-authenticate yourself.

BankID from a bank other than DNB is sufficient identification in connection with re-authentication. A new customer relationship will not be created. Someone who already has online banking agreement with us will be logged into online banking in the usual way by logging in via this page (with BankID from another bank).

Become a customer with BankID

NOTE! If you do not have an online banking agreement with DNB, follow the steps and fill in the requested information. When you reach the actual agreement, you can simply log out. You do not need to sign the agreement to authenticate yourself.

One to two reminder messages about having an agreement for signing will be sent, which you can ignore. If you choose to sign the agreement, an online banking agreement and a current account will be created for you at DNB free of charge.

Practical information for shareholders without a Norwegian passport

Certificate of residence for correct tax

For shareholders without a Norwegian residential address, the tax rate on dividends is 25 per cent. To get a reduced tax rate on dividends, you need to send DNB a Certificate of Residence (residence). You will receive such confirmation from the tax authorities in your country of residence and it must expressly confirm that you are resident there for tax purposes under the tax agreement with Norway.

NOTE! This document cannot be older than three years from the date stamp on the document. The document must be renewed every three years.

Form for selling shares

People who do not have a Norwegian national identity number cannot set up the equity trading service in our online bank and therefore cannot buy and sell shares online.

If you want to sell your shares in the future, you need to use a form for selling shares (PDF, Norwegian).

When transferring to an account outside of Norway, DNB needs documentation proving that you are the rightful holder of the bank account to which the money will be transferred. An account statement from your foreign bank will confirm this.
