SpareBank 1 SMN raises interest rates

Norges Bank decided to raise its key policy rate to 4.25 percent last week. SpareBank 1 SMN has decided to raise its interest rates by 0.25 percentage points in response to Norges Bank’s decision to increase its key policy rate.

“Global events are impacting us locally here in Norway. While most households have the financial capacity to absorb Norges Bank’s interest-rate increase, we need to be ready for continuing uncertainty. We encourage customers who are concerned about their finances or who face financial challenges to contact us,” says Monica Haftorn Iversen, Executive Director Retail Banking at SpareBank 1 SMN.
