How do I register for regular card savings?

To start saving with a payment card, go to "Credit Card" in online banking and then select “Card Savings”. Then select your savings plan: Each transaction is rounded up to the next ISK 100, 500 or 1,000, and the difference is credited to your savings account. Each transaction is increased by a fixed amount - ISK 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 - which is then credited to your savings account. You shop as usual. We calculate the savings and deposit the amount into your selected savings account. Simple and convenient. Note that it is not possible to save using a card with an overdraft.

Key information about pension savings

In Iceland, all wage earners aged 16 to 70 are obligated to pay a percentage of their wages toward mandatory pension savings.

Moving to Iceland and need a bank account?

Creating a bank account is not complicated, even if you’re new to Iceland. To become a customer of an Icelandic bank, you first need an Icelandic identification number - kennitala. If you do not have an Id.No., your first step is to apply for one with Registers Iceland. The website of Registers Iceland, skra.is, has all information about how to apply.

Points to consider before withdrawing private pension savings

The authorities have granted temporary dispensation to withdraw private pension savings (also referred to as supplementary pension savings) as a measure to assist individuals who suffer loss of income due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
