Payments in Finland and abroad – credit or debit?
You can make payments with all Nordea cards in Finland and in more than 200 foreign countries. A combination card (credit/debit) and a credit card (credit) are accepted in all shops that carry the Mastercard symbol. Credit and combination cars are accepted in around 30 million sales outlets across the world. The debit feature can be combined to the following credit cards: Finnair Plus Mastercard, Stockmann Mastercard, Nordea Gold and Nordea Credit.
Nordea Debit is accepted in shops that carry the Visa symbol and Nordea Electron in shops that carry the Visa Electron symbol.
When paying with a credit card with the debit feature combined, you can choose whether your purchases will be charged to your credit facility (credit) or directly to your bank account (debit). Chip payment terminals at which you accept a payment with a PIN are not always available abroad. In such a case, your purchases will be charged to your credit facility.
