Switching from your old bank to OP – become our customer

Would you like to switch banks or become our customer in another way? Read more about why it’s worth banking with us and apply easily online.

When you demand responsibility and stability from your banking services, choose our domestic bank. As our customer, you will get banking, financing, real estate agency, insurance and investment services under one and the same roof. You can become an OP cooperative bank owner-customer as well. In that way, you will get discounts on banking and insurance services as well as OP bonuses which only owner-customers can earn. OP bonuses will be automatically used to cover, for example, banking service charges and insurance bills.

Furthermore, as an OP cooperative bank owner-customer, you will get additional benefits in autumn 2023. You will get daily banking services without monthly charges from 1 October 2023 until 31 March 2024. The interest rate on your Current account will also rise to 0.25% on 1 November.

How to switch your banking to OP

  • If you are an EEA citizen of at least 18 years of age, have a permanent address in Finland and a good credit history, fill in an application online.
  • You will receive a current account and access to OP's digital services. A current account is free of charge for owner-customers and those under 26 years. For other customers, a monthly charge of 2.50 euros applies. The charge for an OP user ID is 3.00 euros per month at most.
  • At the same time, you can become an owner-customer by paying the member cooperative contribution. This will bring you all the benefits available to our owner-customers.
  • After you become our customer, we will help you terminate the services of your current bank. To do this, you will need details on your current banking services.
