Professional guardian

What can you do as a guardian?

As the appointed guardian and DNB customer, you get an overview and access to your client’s DNB accounts in your own online bank.

You must fill out a form to become a customer

If the minor is a customer of DNB:

1. Log in with your BankID
2. Register information about new client
3. Upload legal guardianship authority from the Norwegian National Authority

What do you get when the client is registered?

• You will be registered as an account signatory in the client’s accounts
• You get an overview of the client’s commitment/customer account
• If the person you are a guardian for is deprived of legal capacity, you will be contacted for a review

Change roles and access

Have you received the engagement overview and want to make changes?

Types of access you can register are:

• Who will manage the client's accounts
• Who should have a card for the accounts
• Who should receive bank statements electronically or by regular post?
• Setting up a new account
• Close existing account

NB!

Even if you are appointed as guardian, security instruments, cards and pins issued in the client’s name must not be used/managed by anyone other than the client themselves. To get an overview, you will be assigned a separate role in your client’s account, so as the appointed guardian, you have the necessary access in your own online bank.

Please note the following:

Unless there is full or partial deprivation of legal capacity, the legal account holder can also, after appointing a guardian, take legal action and dispose of their own funds, without requesting consent from a guardian. He/she can also revoke any decisions/changes that have been made by the guardian. See The Norwegian Guardianship Act, Section 21.
