NemKonto for companies

All companies in Denmark are required to have a NemKonto.
A NemKonto is the company’s existing bank account that is assigned as a NemKonto. All payments from Danish Authorities is transferred directly to this account

The easiest way for your company to have a NemKonto assigned is by having a Danish business account. You can get a business account by contacting a bank in Denmark. The bank will then help you set the business account as your company’s NemKonto.

Please note, that you cannot have a foreign bank account assigned as your NemKonto via a bank in Denmark. If you wish to assign a foreign bank account as your NemKonto, you need to follow the directions below.
