Useful information

When transferring funds to another country, you can do a number of things to get the safest and cheapest option:

  • Use an account transfer rather than a cheque. Account transfers are cheaper for both you and the payee
  • Order the transfer through eBanking – a cheap and easy way of making cross-border payments
  • Always make sure the BIC and IBAN are correct. IBANs are required for countries that have introduced the IBAN. Your eBanking service will alert you if an IBAN is required. Check the IBAN if you are not sure that you have the correct number
  • Always select The Sender And The Payee Share The Costs option


Extra security check
To avoid fraud targeting both you and Danske Bank, we verify randomly selected international transfers. This means that you may receive a text message asking you to confirm the amount and country of the payee you have entered. If we do not have your mobile phone number, or if you cannot receive text messages, we will verify the payment manually and call you if we have any questions.

The extra security check does not affect fees, exchange rates, processing times or the like, and is carried out only to enhance security in connection with international transfers.
