FAQ

Can non-residents open a bank account in Denmark?

None of the 4 accounts on this page is open to non-residents without conditions, but 4 accept foreigners who meet extra requirements (Danske Bank, Nordea, Lunar) — typically a valid visa or residence permit, and usually an in-branch visit. See each account page for details.

Do I have to visit Denmark in person to open an account?

Not necessarily. 2 of the 4 accounts can be opened fully online (Lunar, Lunar), with no branch visit; the remaining 2 still require a branch visit or an appointment. Online opening depends on whether your documents pass automated checks.

How much money do I need to open an account in Denmark?

Minimums vary widely — see the "Minimum deposit" column. 4 account(s) have no minimum deposit, so you need not fund on day one. Also watch the minimum balance and monthly fee; dormant accounts can incur charges.

How long does it take to open an account in Denmark?

It depends on the account: online accounts are usually approved within minutes to a few working days, while branch or manually reviewed accounts typically take 1 to 3 weeks. The "How to apply" column shows the channel for each account, and timings are on the individual pages.
