The Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, yesterday raised the key policy rate by
0.25 percentage points. DNB has today decided to increase the interest rate on
home mortgages by up to 0.25 percentage points.

"Norges Bank's key policy rate increase marks the end of an historical period
with zero interest rates. We are approaching normality. Our home mortgage
customers will still have a very low interest rate after this adjustment," says
Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten, Group Executive Vice President for Personal Banking in
DNB.

All customers whose interest rates are adjusted, will be given information in
the Internet bank or receive a letter by regular post, explaining how their home
mortgage will be affected. The new interest rates will be effective from 28
September for new customers, and from 12 November for existing customers.
