Significado
Asking for a place to withdraw money.
Contexto cultural
Norway is one of the most cashless countries in the world. Many places, especially in cities, do not accept cash at all. Always check for a 'Vi tar ikke kontanter' (We don't take cash) sign. The app 'Vipps' is used for almost everything. If you need to pay a friend or a small vendor, they will likely ask 'Kan du Vippse?'. Minibanks are often located inside 'kiosker' like Narvesen or 7-Eleven for security and convenience, rather than being standalone machines on the street. Norwegians are generally very helpful with directions. If you ask for a minibank, they might even walk you a few steps to show you where it is.
Look for the Blue Sign
Most minibanks in Norway still use the classic blue and white logo, even if they are inside a shop.
Check for Fees
Some independent ATMs (not bank-owned) charge high fees. Try to find one from a major bank like DNB or Nordea.

Cashback in Grocery Stores
Instead of finding a minibank, you can often ask for 'cashback' (ta ut penger) when buying groceries at stores like REMA 1000 or KIWI.

10 preguntasIt is always one word in Norwegian. Writing it as 'mini bank' is a common spelling error.
Yes, most people will understand you, but 'minibank' is the actual Norwegian word and using it will make you sound more fluent.
Rarely. Almost everywhere takes card or Vipps. Cash is mostly for emergencies or specific small markets.
Outdoor ones are, but many are located inside shops or malls and are only accessible during business hours.
It depends on your bank, but usually around 5000-10000 NOK per day.
You must call the number listed on the machine immediately to block the card. This is called 'å sperre kortet'.
'Kontantautomat' is a more formal, technical term, but 'minibank' is what everyone actually says.
You say 'Jeg vil sette inn penger'. Some minibanks have an 'innskudd' function.
Some minibanks at airports or major transport hubs do, but most only give Norwegian Kroner (NOK).
'Nærmeste' means nearest (distance). 'Neste' means next (sequence). Use 'nærmeste' for location.
