Payment-Specific Account

A payment-specific account is an account that is different from your NemKonto. You can have both a payment-specific account and a NemKonto at the same time.

A payment-specific account can be set up if, for example, you wish to have a specific transfer from a public authority paid into a different account than your NemKonto.

If you wish to have specific payments from Danish public authorities deposited into a different account than your NemKonto, you must contact the relevant public authority. Only a caseworker at the public authority can assign a payment-specific account for you.

Once a payment-specific account has been set up, you can use the self-service to:

• Change the account number of your payment-specific account.
• View changes in your payment-specific account.
• Delete your payment-specific account.

If you have a payment-specific account, it may automatically become your new NemKonto, if you delete your regular NemKonto. If this happens, you will need to activate your NemKonto, before you can use it to receive payments.

If you do not want to have your payment-specific account changed to be your NemKonto, you can lock your payment-specific account. A locked payment-specific account cannot be changed and therefore cannot become a NemKonto. If you wish to avoid having a payment-specific account become your NemKonto upon deletion of your current NemKonto, you should check in advance whether the payment-specific account is locked for changes.

You can view details about a payment-specific account by selecting the menu item “Payment-Specific Accounts” when logged into the self-service (this menu item will only be visible if you have one or more payment-specific accounts). If a payment-specific account becomes your NemKonto upon deletion of your existing NemKonto, and you do not want it to be your NemKonto, you can delete it again.
