In-depth analysis
Kurtasje and fees: Nordnet is the cheaper provider — stocks from 0 SEK on Nordnet Markets, otherwise from 39 SEK per trade. DNB charges from 0.05% of order value (minimum 59 NOK) on Oslo Børs and from 99 NOK internationally; the Norwegian word for commission is kurtasje. Foreign-currency purchases also incur a currency-exchange fee (valutaväxlingsavgift). Minimum deposit is 0 at both.
Accounts and tax: For Norwegian investors the ASK (aksjesparekonto) is central — this share-savings account lets gains from shares and equity funds be reinvested without tax falling due immediately; it is taxed only on withdrawal, which favors long-term saving. Swedish Nordnet customers know the analogues as the ISK (Investeringssparkonto, flat schablon taxation), the AF (aktie- & fondkonto, ongoing taxation of realized gains with loss offsetting) and the KF (kapitalförsäkring, a flat-taxed insurance wrapper); Denmark has the aktiesparekonto as a tax-favored share savings account. Which account fits depends on country of residence and time horizon.
Offering and profile: DNB covers stocks, ETFs, bonds and funds but offers no options; its strength is security, DNB Markets research and seamless banking integration. Nordnet additionally trades Nordic options and warrants and offers free savings plans via Månadsspar. Common question — is switching from DNB to Nordnet worth it? For active or cost-conscious investors, Nordnet noticeably lowers kurtasje and opens more markets; those who prefer the Norwegian house bank with personal banking stay with DNB.
