An active company has the option to receive payments from the ventekonto, even if the company does not have a NemKonto.

However, we recommend that the company assigns a NemKonto if possible. Once the company has a NemKonto, all future payments from public payers - as well as funds in the ventekonto - will be automatically transferred to the designated account. This is the fastest way to receive funds from Danish public authorities.

If you wish to have the money paid out to an account that is not registered as the company's NemKonto, please be aware that you may find yourself in the same situation again in the future if you need to receive new payments from public authorities. You should also be aware that this may violate the terms and conditions of the account to which the payment is intended and could lead to the financial institution choosing to terminate the business relationship.

Furthermore, the processing time for payments without a NemKonto is longer than for automatic payments to a NemKonto.

If you still wish to receive the company’s payment without a NemKonto, you have the following options:

With MitID Erhverv

• After completing the form, a link for digital signature will be sent to the authorized signatories.

2. Copy of valid ID.

Ventekonto is an account that is currently controlled by the Agency for Digital Government. When a public authority transfers money to a person, who does not have a NemKonto at the time of the payment, the money is transferred to the ventekonto. The person is notified via post and urged to assign a NemKonto. As soon as a NemKonto is assigned, the money automatically gets transferred to the person’s NemKonto.

The money in the ventekonto is from the Danish Tax Agency. The Agency for Digital Government will process payments from the ventekonto as it is this agency – and not the Danish Tax Agency – that owns the account.

There have previously been payments from other organizations as well, including the Danish Defense Command, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Defense’s Internal Audit, Thisted Municipality and Gentofte Municipality. However, these organizations no longer use the ventekonto and payments from them have been returned to the relevant parties, who are responsible for the payments.

The Danish Agency for Digital Government is working with the country’s probate courts regarding payouts from the ventekonto to relevant bankruptcy estates and compulsorily dissolved companies for transfers made before 1 July 2025. The probate court assesses whether the amount should be paid out and will contact the estate’s designated trustee regarding the payment.

If you are a curator or liquidator for a company that you believe has funds in the ventekonto, you are welcome to contact NemKonto Support. This applies to amounts transferred both before and after 1 July 2025.

Companies registered only with an SE-number unfortunately cannot use the digital forms. Instead, you must complete the relevant physical form. Enter the SE-number in the field where the CVR number is requested.

For companies registered solely with an SE-number, a special documentation requirement applies: a copy of the registration certificate from the Danish Tax Agency must be attached.

If the company’s payment is linked to a P-number (not a CVR-number), the money will automatically be payed out once the CVR-number has assigned a NemKonto. However, if you want to receive the payout without a NemKonto, you must complete the physical form. Both CVR- and P-numbers should be entered in the field labeled “CVR-number.”

You must assign a NemKonto or contact NemKonto Support within 3 years of the attempted payment. If you do not do this, the money will be used to cover any potential debt, you have to the Danish authorities. If you do not have any debt, the money will be transferred to the state in accordance with the nemkonto act.

You can read more about the legal basis for the ventekonto and the rules for payments in the account in the nemkonto act here.

If the payment is not sent to your company, but to you personally, you can read more about how to receive your money from the ventekonto here.
