To receive and hold Norwegian shares you either need to have a VPS account or a custodian that can hold on to Norwegian shares on your behalf.
If you have previously set up a VPS account, you should be able to find your VPS number in your online banking/brokerage service, or through Euronext Securities. If you cannot locate the VPS number, try contacting your VPS account provider and ask them for your VPS number.
If you have not previously set up a VPS account, you need to set up an account with a provider. Nordnet is a provider that lets you set up such an account easily if you are a Norwegian citizen.
For citizens of other countries, it is not possible to create VPS accounts, and you need to receive and hold shares through a custodian. If this applies to you, we recommend setting up an account with Saxo Bank, which will be able to hold Norwegian shares on your behalf.
