Due to the maintenance, Nordea Credit application is temporarily unavailable.

How to check your card settings

When you fill in the card application, you will need to select some features, such as the credit limit, instalment percentage and due date. You can later easily apply for changes to your credit limit and edit your card settings in Nordea Mobile and Netbank.

How to raise your credit limit

The minimum credit limit of Nordea Credit is 1,500 euros.

You can later apply for an increase to your credit limit in Nordea Mobile or Netbank. You will find the application by first selecting Services, then Credit and payment cards, and finally Nordea Credit.

Other changes to your credit card  

Your instalment percentage can be anywhere between 3 and 100. The instalment percentage means the minimum portion of your outstanding balance that you will need to pay back every month.

You can also select the monthly due date for your credit card invoice and two instalment-free months. The instalment-free months cannot be consecutive months. 

You can edit these features in Nordea Mobile or Netbank under the card’s details by selecting Edit credit.

How to adjust your card’s security settings

General instructions for using a credit card

30-day payment period

You will get an interest-free payment period of 30 days on average for purchases charged to the credit facility. This means that your credit balance won’t accrue interest if you repay it within 30 days. 

After the interest-free payment period, you will pay interest on the remaining balance as determined in the card terms and conditions. You will get an invoice on your outstanding credit balance each month, stating a minimum repayment based on the instalment percentage you have chosen.

How to transfer money from your credit card to your bank account

Transferring money from your credit card to your bank account can sometimes be a useful way to pay for an unexpected expense. By doing so, you can avoid applying for a new loan to cover a temporary need. 

To transfer money, go to your card details in Nordea Mobile or Netbank and select Pay and transfer.

Please note that interest will begin accruing on any money you transfer from your credit facility from the day of the transfer. If your card has been issued before 1 September 2019, these transfers are also subject to a one-time fee.

Flexible repayment

You can make extra instalments or pay off your credit balance whenever you want.

Simply go to your card details in Nordea Mobile or Netbank and select Pay and transfer. You can also increase the total on your credit card invoice.

How to track your card transactions

You can easily keep track of your card transactions in Nordea Mobile or Netbank. To see the latest transactions charged to your card’s credit facility, go to the card details. If you want to browse older transactions, see your credit card invoices.

Frequently asked questions about Nordea Credit

Credit card costs and annual percentage rate

Note that we charge interest on credit card payments if you don’t pay off your credit balance within 30 days. However, if you use your credit card to withdraw cash or transfer money to your bank account, we will charge interest starting from the withdrawal date.

See below for our example calculation on the annual percentage rate on Nordea Platinum. Besides interest expenses, the calculation includes the fees charged for the credit facility, which makes it useful if you want to compare the costs of different loans and credit facilities. 

Example calculation for Nordea Credit

With a Nordea Credit credit card, the actual annual percentage rate of charge for an outstanding credit balance of 1,500 euros is 13,64 % when the 3-month Euribor reference rate is 2,36 % (04/2025), the monthly account management fee is 4.50 euros, the customer has opted for the free e-invoice and repays the credit in 12 monthly instalments (140 euros). The estimated total cost of the credit is 1,606.50 euros. The calculation assumes that the customer has a Mobile Plus or Basic package and therefore gets the card with no monthly or annual fee. Nordea Credit Mastercard is an international charge and credit card and a continuous credit facility which is valid until further notice. The creditor is Nordea Bank Abp, Satamaradankatu 5, Helsinki, or Nordea Finance Finland Ltd, Aleksis Kiven katu 9, Helsinki.
