Yes, it is possible with some of our partners to modify a payment in Norwegian Krone (NOK) even after it has been sent in SWIFT. If you have, for example, made an error in the beneficiary's name or account number, the correction is made through a SWIFT amendment. If the payment was not executed via the SWIFT network, then it is not possible to make such amendments, and you must wait for the payment to be returned if applicable.
Is the Norwegian Krone (NOK) account provided to you a bank account, and is it nominative?
The Norwegian Krone (NOK) account for which we provide you with the details is not a bank account per se because the account holder is not a bank but a partner payment institution. These accounts are labeled in your name, and the IBAN attached to the account is unique. You thus have a guarantee of segregation of your funds in the books of our partners. The security guarantees for your funds are similar to those offered by traditional banks. The account can be located in different countries according to your operational needs. Please consult the page related to opening a Norwegian Krone (NOK) account for more information.
Is it possible to hold Norwegian Krone (NOK) in the NOK account provided to you?
You can use this Norwegian Krone (NOK) account to receive or store Norwegian Krone. The funds can then be reused to issue payments in Norwegian Krone or be converted into other currencies.
