OSLO, Oct 20 (Reuters) - DNB, Norway's largest bank, on Thursday became the latest Nordic bank to report a jump in third-quarter profits due to rising interest rates, in line with forecasts.

Net profit rose to 7.6 billion crowns ($717.3 million) for the July-to-September quarter from 6.9 billion a year earlier, in line with the 7.7 billion expected by 12 analysts in a poll compiled by the bank. (Reporting by Gwladys Fouche, editing by Terje Solsvik)
