For agreements on a payment account (betalingskonto) under Chapter 4 with a consumer (forbruker), information as mentioned in § 3-28 letter a shall be provided by using a standardised fee information document together with an explanatory glossary, in accordance with rules laid down by the Government (Kongen) in regulations (forskrift).

What does this mean?

The section applies to consumers who get a payment account under Chapter 4. The cost information in § 3-28 letter a, meaning the total amount and a breakdown of the individual items, must then be given in a standardised fee information document together with an explanatory glossary. The Government may lay down more detailed rules on this in regulations.

It is a special rule supplementing § 3-28 on costs, and it sits between the rules on payment services (betalingstjenester) (§ 3-30 to § 3-32) and the rules on credit (§ 3-34). Example: A consumer opens a payment account, and the service provider (tjenesteyter) must then use the document and the glossary when presenting the costs.
