Settlement and cash services

Nordea Bank offers you a service on cashless payment for a visa or a residence permit in Finland in Nordea Bank ATMs with use of bank cards by Visa International and MasterCard Worldwide international payment systems.

You may pay a consular fee at any time convenient for you:

• In stand-alone ATMs – around-the-clock
• In other ATMs – within the working hours of the company.

Payment of consular fees at Nordea Bank ATMs is effected in euro. Conversion of funds from the currency of transaction into the currency of the card account is conducted on the conditions of the issuer of the bank card.

The commission fee for consular fee payment in Nordea Bank office amounts to 5% of the transaction amount.

Crediting of funds to the accounts of the Embassy or the Consulate following payment through a Nordea Bank ATM is based on the following terms:

• if an operation is effected before 19:00 (Moscow time) – on the next business day;
• if an operation is effected after 19:00 (Moscow time):
  • on the first business day (if the day of operation is followed by a day-off or a public holiday) or
  • on the second business day (if the day of operation is followed by a business day).

To execute a payment transaction you must have a payment notice obtained from the Embassy or the Consulate as well as a bank card and have sufficient funds available in your bank account to accommodate the transaction.

You will be required to enter details of your payment notice on the ATM’s screen: a reference number, a type of the consular fee (a visa or a permit), the total amount of visas or permits to be paid, the final amount of payment in order to effect the transaction.

To obtain a visa or a permit you will have to submit to the Consulate or the Embassy a payment notice and the receipt confirming payment of the consular fee in the Nordea Bank ATM.

Measures to increase transactions security abroad

In view of the increasing rate of card frauds in certain countries Nordea Bank is taking additional measures to increase transactions security abroad.

Thus, if the Bank is not notified beforehand of the planned visit to the listed countries, it may be difficult or impossible to conduct the following operations with the use of cards issued by the Bank on their territory:

• payment for goods (works, services) at sales points;
• transactions via self-service machines (ATMs and terminals), incl. balance enquiry;
• cash point transactions.

Customers planning to visit these countries shall notify the Bank of the trip in advance. You can release restrictions on transactions in the selected countries and for a certain period of time. There are three options to do it:

• to contact the Information Support Centre;
• to address office of the Bank (your passport needed) and to submit an Application for release of card usage restrictions in the selected country(-es);
• to submit an Application for release of card usage restrictions in the selected country(-es) via Nordea online (provided you are already a system user). For this you should create a message in the section "Application, messages" and enclose your application in the *.doc format or as a scan.

Restrictions are released free of charge.
Enhanced operations control in the said countries does not cover virtual cards for Internet transactions.
As relates to additional cards issued for another person, restrictions are released on the basis of an application submitted by the SCA holder.
