Travelling to Norway? Avoid poor airport exchange rates — a prepaid travel money card or multi-currency card usually gets you a far better deal on Norwegian krone spending.
What is money called in Norway?
Money in Norway is called the Norwegian krone — its ISO 4217 currency code is NOK, and its symbol is kr. The Norwegian krone is the official legal tender in Norway and is used for all everyday transactions — from paying for goods and services to converting money at banks and exchange bureaus. When travelling, you may also see it referred to as the Norway currency or simply money in Norway. The Norwegian krone is subdivided into 100 øre, though small-denomination coins may not always be in everyday circulation.
Is the Norwegian krone used anywhere else?
No — Norway is the only country on this site using the Norwegian krone as its official currency.
Not to be confused with other krone/krona currencies
Several currencies carry the name “krone/krona”, but each one is separate, with its own code, value and issuing country. The Norwegian krone (NOK) is the currency of Norway.
| Currency | Code | Used in | 1 USD = |
|---|---|---|---|
| Danish krone | DKK | Denmark | 6.5323 |
| Swedish krona | SEK | Sweden | 9.6568 |
Practical money tips for Norway
Card payments are widely accepted in most cities, but it's still worth carrying some Norwegian krone in cash for smaller vendors, local transport and rural areas. Notify your bank before travelling to avoid transactions being blocked, and compare card fees — many cards charge a foreign transaction fee that a dedicated travel money card avoids.
