Visa/Dankort in Denmark
How much cash you can withdraw on your Visa/Dankort is determined by the card spending limits. How much cash you can withdraw varies, depending on whether you use Danske Bank’s ATMs during or outside opening hours and whether you use ATMs of other banks.
See terms and conditions and fees for Visa/Dankort cards (pdf)
The spending limit on your card depends on whether you pay using the Dankort or the Visa part of the card. Dankort has no maximum so long as the amount is available in your account.
For Visa, there is a 30-day spending limit of DKK 25,000. This applies regardless of whether you use the card abroad, online or at a store in Denmark. This is not always easy to determine when you shop online, as the site can be foreign even when everything on the site is in Danish.
You can see the spending limits for each individual card in Danske Mobile Banking and Danske eBanking.

Visa/Dankort cards abroad
How much cash you can withdraw on your Visa/Dankort is determined by the card spending limits. The limits are lower abroad than in Denmark.
See terms and conditions and fees for Visa/Dankort cards (pdf)
When abroad, you always pay using the Visa part of the card. Here, a 30-day spending limit of DKK 25,000 applies, regardless of how much money is in the account. Please note that a purchase from a foreign website will also be charged to the Visa part of the card. Hotel bookings, for example, will often be charged to the Visa part, as the business behind the site may not be based in Denmark, even if the website looks Danish.
Your purchases will also always be charged to the Visa part if you use Apple Pay abroad.

Mastercard
How much cash you can withdraw on your Mastercard is determined by the card limits. The card limits are the same, regardless of whether you want to withdraw money in Denmark or abroad. However, when abroad, you should be aware that there may be local limits on the amount you can withdraw.
For Mastercard Platinum, Gold or Basis, the agreed credit maximum determines how much you can spend via the card. It could be DKK 25,000, for example, and your Mastercard account will always show how much you have available. Your balance is the amount you have spent, with the amount available being your credit maximum less the balance (and any pre-authorised amounts).
With Mastercard Direct or the debit function on a credit card, you can spend up to DKK 30,000 per day - so long as the money is available in your account.
You can see the limits for each individual card in Danske eBanking or Danske Mobile Banking.
