• Our standard billing is half-yearly, by eFaktura or ordinary invoice, and follows the calendar year. New members pay from the month they join through to the end of the current half-year.
• If you would prefer a different payment frequency, you can choose to be billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Monthly payment requires you to set up an AvtaleGiro direct debit.

You can set up eFaktura and AvtaleGiro accounts on your online bank. Choose Tekna from the drop-down accounts and services list and type in both your eFaktura reference: 00 + your Tekna member number, or type in this account: 1503.71.57829 for AvtaleGiro.

You will receive reminders by email, by post and finally by telephone. If you have an outstanding invoice from the past twelve months, your membership will be cancelled. 

eFaktura is independent of your bank. This means an eFaktura will appear in all your online banks until it has been processed. Once it has been processed, it will only be visible in the bank where it was handled.

We send you eFaktura because you have given general consent in your online bank to receive eFaktura from all invoice issuers. Depending on your bank or payment app, this consent is called "Ja takk til alle" ("Yes to all"), "Alltid eFaktura", "Automatisk eFaktura" or similar. Once it is active, our invoice will also appear in your online bank — and possibly in Vipps — instead of arriving by post.

If you wish to stop receiving eFaktura from all issuers, you can turn this consent off in your online bank.

Further study undertaken after your qualifying master's degree has no bearing on whether you can be a member, and therefore has no student membership fee attached to it. However, you can apply for a discount on the membership fee as someone pursuing further study, provided you do not work more than 50% in a permanent position alongside your studies.

It costs NOK 150 per semester for students.
