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. This will occur only if the payment-specific account is not locked for account changes.

A locked 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 portal (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 serve as your NemKonto, you can delete it again.
