- How do I open a strong electronic e-identification for my child?
You can set up banking services, such as a current account, debit card and online banking credentials, for your underage child by filling in our online application. Both of the child’s guardians must consent to opening the banking services. A single parent with sole custody can set up banking services for a minor without the other parent’s approval.
Set up banking services for your child online
It is possible to add e-identification, which is a form of strong electronic identification, to your child’s online banking credentials. This allows your child to log in to various services provided by third parties, such as the HSL ticket app or Kela’s e-service. E-identification can be added to a child’s online banking credentials separately by booking an appointment at a Nordea branch. As a general rule, the child must be at least 10 years old.

- Why haven't I received my tax refund in my account?
Tax refunds will be paid on 3 July, 4 August, 3 September, 3 October, 3 November or 3 December. You can see the date of your tax refund on your tax decision.
The tax refunds are paid into your bank account if the Tax Administration knows your valid account number. If you can’t see the refund on your account, we recommend checking your account again later, as the payments are made on that day and it may take a while for them to come through. Your tax refund payment date may have also been postponed if you supplemented your tax declaration after the initial decision, for example.
