Trading forex (currencies) in Norway is popular among residents. While recommended, forex brokers are not required to become authorised by Finanstilsynet (The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) to accept residents of Norway as customers.
Finanstilsynet is the financial regulatory body in Norway. Website: https://www.finanstilsynet.no/. We recommend residents of Norway follow Finanstilsynet on Twitter: https://twitter.com/finanstilsynet.
Finanstilsynet was established in 1986 and is responsible for supervision of financial companies in Norway. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to Finanstilsynet on Wikipedia.

Methodology
For our 2019 Forex Broker Review we assessed, rated, and ranked 28 international forex brokers. Each broker was graded on 81 different variables and, in total, over 60,000 words of research were produced.
While encouraged, broker participation was optional. Each broker had the opportunity to complete an in-depth data profile and provide executive time (live in person or over the web) for an annual update meeting.
All data submitted by brokers is hand-checked for accuracy. Ultimately, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than .1% each year, providing site visitors quality data they can trust. Learn more about how we test.
