Membership benefits

In the offshore industry, you may face tough situations – but with STYRKE, you are never alone. With over 4,000 union representatives and strong membership benefits, we give you security at work and support when you need it.

Insurances

Our members have several valuable insurances included in their membership:

In addition to the included insurances, you can buy extra coverage through Lofavør, such as:

Bank

As a member, you get access to great deals on mortgages, car loans, pensions, savings accounts (BSU), and more – negotiated through our community of over 1 million members.

Banking services are provided by SpareBank 1, with the goal of making it easier for you to choose safe and affordable financial products in a market full of options.

House and home

As a member, you get access to great benefits on home sales, mortgages, insurance, electricity, and more. With over 1 million members behind us, we’ve negotiated safe and transparent deals on important everyday services.

Choosing the right option should be easy – even when the market is full of alternatives.

Vacation and leisure

Vacation and free time matter – that’s why LOfavør has negotiated membership benefits on travel, accommodation, car rental, amusement parks, and festivals. With 1 million members, we secure great and reliable deals for you and your family.

Pension

Pension can seem complicated. There’s a lot to keep track of, the rules keep changing – and the choices you make can affect the rest of your life. That’s why Styrke offers two strong pension services for our members, provided by the independent experts at Tredjepart AS:

Pension Phone Line – a free and easy-access service for all members, regardless of age

Pension Advisory Service – a thorough, personal review for members turning 57 or older this year

The goal is to make it easier to understand what to expect, which choices you have, and when it might be smart to act.

Pension Phone Line – for all members

Do you have questions about pensions? Call our free Pension Phone Line – an easy and accessible service for all members, no matter your age. Here, you can speak to experts who answer everything from basic questions to more complex ones.
