NemKonto in a foreign financial institution

The foreign account must be linked to a credit institution that is approved in the respective country. If you are unsure whether a credit institution meets the requirements, you can contact the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet).

If you wish to designate a foreign account as your company’s NemKonto, you must complete an application and submit it to the Danish Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen).

You can apply in two ways:

• With MitID Erhverv
• Without MitID Erhverv

Please note that you cannot designate a foreign account as the company's NemKonto directly through foreign financial institutions, but only by following the application process below.

• Follow the link.
• Log in with MitID Erhverv.
• The application must comply with the company’s signing rules, but can be completed by someone other than the authorized signatories.
  • Except for sole proprietorships, where the owner must complete the application themselves.
• After submission, a link for digital signature will be sent to the authorized signatories.

If the company does not use MitID Erhverv:

1. Complete and sign the physical form (PDF) in the presence of a notary, a lawyer, or two witnesses.
2. Attach the following documentation:
• A copy of valid identification for the authorized signatories.
• A copy of the company’s articles of association translated into Danish or English.
• An extract from the company’s register of signatories in Danish or English (applicable to foreign companies).
• The register must confirm that the signer has the authority to sign on behalf of the company.
• The extract must be no older than one month.
• Registration certificate from the Danish Tax Agency (only for SE numbers).

Send the NemKonto form and documentation to the Danish Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen).

If your company is applying for a foreign NemKonto without MitID Erhverv, the application form and supporting documents can be submitted in one of the following ways:

• Contact form
• Physical mail

The Danish Agency for Digital Government processes your application for a foreign NemKonto within 8-10 weeks.

To avoid delays, it is advisable for the company to double-check that all required documents are included.

If the submitted documentation is complete and a NemKonto can be designated for the company, you will receive an activation letter. The activation letter will be sent via physical mail to the company’s registered address in the Central Business Register (CVR).

Please note that we cannot send the activation letter via email, Digital Post, or to an alternative address.

If you are reporting a NemKonto on behalf of someone else or for a company where you are not an authorized signatory, this is considered a third-party submission.

For third-party submissions, in addition to the application form and supporting documents mentioned above, you must include a power of attorney from the company’s authorized signatory. This document must authorize you to designate a NemKonto on behalf of the company. The power of attorney must be translated into Danish or English. This requirement applies to accountants but not to legal representation by lawyers.

The power of attorney must include the following information:

• Account details (Registration number and account number or IBAN and SWIFT).
• Notarial certification or signatures from two witnesses confirming the identities of both the principal (grantor) and the agent (holder of the power of attorney).
• A copy of valid identification for both the principal and the agent.

Companies that have registered units with SE numbers or P numbers can designate a NemKonto for each of these units. However, it is up to the public authority to determine whether payments can be made using an SE or P number as the payment identification.
