It’s sometimes impossible to predict all of your expenses. Then it's good to remember that certain credit cards can also be suitable for students. You can apply for a Mastercard when you have been admitted to study at a university, university of applied sciences or another higher education institution. As a student, you’re not required to have a job or income to get a Mastercard.

Is Mastercard right for me?

It’s good to remember that a credit card is not meant for impulse purchases. A credit card can also make travelling reservations and online shopping more secure and helps you purchase something a bit more expensive like furniture or a laptop. Still, you should keep in mind that you are of course responsible for how you use your card. When you get your credit card invoice, you can always choose to pay the minimum instalment indicated on the invoice, the entire credit debt or something in-between.

Nordea’s code app makes online shopping secure whether you bank with us or another Finnish bank. You can use Nordea Wallet to track the carbon footprint of your card purchases. And did you know that a Mastercard works for mobile payments as well?
