NemKonto for companies

All companies are required to have a NemKonto. The company’s NemKonto is the bank account used by all public authorities when they make payments to the company.

Assigning an account as NemKonto via a bank

According to the Danish Act on Public Payments, a NemKonto must be assigned via a bank. In Denmark, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority decides when a company can be authorised to call itself a bank.

When you want to assign an account as your NemKonto, it is important that you are aware that some companies do not have the necessary authorisation to operate as a bank. If this is the case, the company will not be required to comply with the special terms and conditions for security and supervision to which a bank is subject.

The Danish Agency for Digital Government recommends that you look into the circumstances of the company via which you want to assign a NemKonto. You should always ensure that the company is authorised to operate as a bank. If you have any doubts as to whether the company via which you want to assign a NemKonto is authorised to operate as a bank, please contact the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Companies can also make payments using NemKonto

A company can also be connected to the NemKonto system for the purpose of making, for instance, salary payments to its own employees.
