Q&A regarding the uploading of documentation
The Anti-Money Laundering regulation requires us as a bank to be able to provide documentation to the authorities showing that we know the identities of the users in District. This is to help prevent fraudulent use of the financial system.
We understand that some users may feel inconvenienced when we ask for proof of identity and/or other information. However, just as the security checks at an airport ensure that all travelers can enjoy a safe flight, it is both necessary and in the best interests of us all that we meet the legal requirements for knowing our users. Please note that all information will be safely stored.
For more details about why we are asking questions and obtaining proof of identity from our customers, please visit danskebank.dk/erhverv/kyc.
All banks must assess what documentation they deem sufficient to enable them to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering regulation. This includes being able to provide documentation to the authorities showing that we know the identities of any District user.

The requirements across countries are not exactly the same. Therefore, you can experience that we request additional information - this applies if you for example are an account mandate holder of Norwegian, German or Polish accounts.
Unfortunately, it has come to our knowledge that some of our customers forget to delete inactive mandates or that they assign users’ personal log-in credentials to new employees rather than creating new users.
Therefore, our communication about District users and mandate holders is not just about the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act, but also about the fact that it is to our customers benefit as well as ours that the number of mandates is updated regularly to reflect our customers actual needs.
We ask because persons who either are or are associated with politically exposed persons are generally more exposed to political pressure and corruption from persons seeking to influence certain decision-making. To prevent money from corruption from entering the financial system, we have to take extra precautionary measures in relation to customers who are politically exposed persons.
