WeSwap is a great option to transfer money to and from the Norwegian Krone, whether you live in Norway or elsewhere in Europe.

It's actually a super simple idea that works brilliantly for frequent travellers. The service essentially cuts out the middle man when it comes to currency exchange, by facilitating the exchange of currencies between travellers themselves.

Unlike most currency exchanges, WeSwap avoids buying foreign currency from a bank and therefore, the more users, the cheaper the rate it can offer. Even though WeSwap charges a fee from 1%, it nearly always works out cheaper than high street stores that offer a so-called 0% charge.

The service works by providing each registered user with a prepaid MasterCard. You load the MasterCard with money in your native currency, and submit a swap request as and when you need the money transferred into a different currency. If you transfer Norwegian Kroner into British Pounds, then when you use the card in the UK your payment will automatically be made in British Pounds. Neat!
