How you benefit from cashback

Cashback means that you will get money back for the purchases you pay with your credit card. You can earn cashback by charging your purchases to your card’s credit facility.

With Nordea cards, the standard cashback rate is 0.5%. You receive cashback for all purchases paid on credit, excluding cash transfers and gambling. You can earn up to 150 euros in cashback per calendar year per card.

We credit the cashback you have earned to your credit account on a monthly basis. This means that you won’t see the cashback in your credit account immediately after your purchase, as it will be paid to you when the next invoicing period starts. 

Cashback examples

  • If you spend 200 euros on groceries or clothing, you get euro back.
  • If you spend 1,000 euros on home electronics, you get 5 euros back.
  • If you spend 2,500 euros on credit card purchases each month, you get 12.50 euros back per month. Over the course of a year, this add ups to 150 euros,, which is the maximum annual cashback amount you can earn per card.

An economical way to use your credit card

If you use your credit card excessively, you may end up taking on too much debt. When you pay with your credit card, it’s sensible to pay back what you owe within 30 days to avoid accruing interest or other costs.
