Kan man bruke Vipps når kortet er sperret?

No, you can't use Vipps when the card is blocked. Vipps is tied directly to the card, so if the card is inactive, the app won't do anything. You have to sort out the card first.

The block isn't permanent, but you need to fix it before any payment will go through. The most common reason a card suddenly stops working is that the PIN was entered wrong three times. That locks the card instantly, and no amount of waiting will fix it.

You have to call the bank or go to a branch to get it unlocked. The number is on the back of the card. If it's not that, it might be an actual freeze due to unpaid debt, but the fix is the same: you have to talk to the bank.

You can't use Vipps without the card either, because the card is what Vipps draws from. Even if you have money in the account, the block stops everything. Check your app logins first, and if those work, the card itself is probably fine.

Sounds like a proper block, not just a technical glitch. You can't bypass it with Vipps. Only the bank can remove it.

They can remove the block, it's not a permanent thing. I had this once after a suspicious online purchase. Called the bank, they confirmed it was me, and it was active again within half an hour.

The key is identifying yourself to the bank. If you've actually lost the card or it's expired, a new one takes 3-5 days by mail, but they can send it to a branch faster. If the card isn't working, first check if you can log in to the app.

If you can, the card is fine, it's probably just a technical issue.

If the app works but the card doesn't, it might be the chip or the contactless reader. Try inserting it instead of tapping. That's caught me out before.
