Nordea Debit card for 6–17-year-olds
- A minor (aged 6–17) needs the consent of their guardians (parents or another person appointed as the guardian) before being able to obtain a Nordea Debit card.
- If the minor is aged 15 or above and receives personal income on their personal current account, they can apply for a Nordea Debit card without the consent of their guardians (parents or another person appointed as the guardian). The account must be opened by the minor themselves if they wish to link a card to it.
Read our more detailed instructions on how to apply for a card for a minor:
If the minor does not have a personal current account with Nordea
The guardians can open a current account for the child and order a Nordea Debit card at the same time easily through our online service.

If the minor already has a personal current account with Nordea
The guardians can apply for a card on behalf of the minor by calling Nordea Customer Service.
During the call, we will ask the guardian to verify their identity using the Nordea ID app or another bank’s online banking codes. The easiest way to call is through Nordea Mobile. In this case, the identity of the guardian has already been verified and we can serve them faster.
If both parents are the child’s guardians, consent will be required from them both. If both parents are able to verify their identities during the same call, we can obtain their consent at once. If either of the parents is unable to join the same phone call, they can call our Customer Service later to provide their consent. Another option is to send their consent using the attached power of attorney to us digitally, for example through Nordea Mobile or Netbank. The second parent must provide their consent within a week of the date on which the first parent gave their consent.

Minors aged 15 and over with personal income
Minors who have turned 15 can apply for a Nordea Debit card for themselves without the consent of their guardians if they receive personal income to their personal current account. Income may consist of salary, student financial aid or weekly allowance. In addition, the current account must be opened by the minor themselves.
- If the minor has online access codes, they can call Nordea Customer Service, verify their identity with their access codes and order a personal Nordea Debit card. They can open a new account during the same call if they don’t already have a current account they have opened themselves.
- If the minor does not have online access codes, they can personally open a current account and apply for a Nordea Debit card at one of our branches by appointment. The minor must bring an accepted and valid identity document (e.g. passport) with them in order to open these services in branch.
