Very few Norwegian issued cards, if any, have a magnetic strip. It's too easily cloned.

If you work near high field magnets, mag strips don’t last long. Chips are fine though so that’s another bonus.

I’ve never received a debit or credit card in Norway without a magstrip. One of the points of having one is to use it in places abroad where chip or contactless isn’t implemented. It’s become thinner but the stipe is still there.
