Why should you become a student member?

The first 12 months of your student membership are for free. After that, the membership fee is DKK 20 a month.  

When you graduate, the membership fee is: 

• DKK 20 a month for the first six months after graduation 

After that, the membership fee is: 

• DKK 285 per month if you have a job
  DKK 170 per month if you are unemployed  

You are eligible for a student membership if you are a full-time student of an educational programme entitling to study grants (SU), focused on the financial field, e.g. programmes in economics, business administration, finance, investment, mathematics, IT, compliance, real estate and the like. If you are a financial trainee or similar, you may also become a student member.

If you are a student of a non-financial programme (e.g. biology, nursing, physiotherapy, etc.), you cannot become a student member. If you have a student job in a company that has entered into a collective agreement with Finansforbundet, you may become a regular member instead. This also applies if your student job involves working primarily with IT or economics related to finance.

We welcome all new student members with 12 months’ free student membership of Finansforbundet. If you have previously been a member, you can get 12 months’ free membership if this is more than a year ago. 

You can be a student member as long as you are studying.

As part of your student membership, you may take out contents insurance at a price of DKK 0.The contents insurance is valid until you turn 30 and offers a well-being hotline for you to call anonymously and free of charge. The contents insurance as well as the well-being hotline are provided by our partner Tryg. 

When joining Finansforbundet, you must, to take out the contents insurance, actively do so. You may also wait – as long as you are a student member, the contents insurance is available to you.   
As a student member, you may also take out other student insurance policies with Tryg at particularly attractive prices, such as travel insurance, accident insurance and car insurance. You may do so either when joining or at a later stage during your student membership.

An unemployment insurance fund is your financial security if you become unemployed, for example after graduation. As a student, you can join Finansforbundet's unemployment insurance fund, A&Til, free of charge. If you sign up at least one year before you graduate, you will secure your right to unemployment benefits from day one after graduation. Membership of the unemployment insurance fund is free for five years of studying.  

We offer a complete solution consisting of our unemployment insurance fund and trade union, providing financial security in case of unemployment as well as advice and guidance for a strong outset of your working life in the financial sector.
