As a resident in Denmark you will might need to open at least one Danish bank account to obtain an Easy Account (NemKonto).
An Easy Account is an account where payments from the public authorities are transferred directly. Your basic account can be designated as an Easy Account.
An Easy Account is a normal bank account into which payments from public institutions (e.g. tax refunds, child subsidies, student loans and unemployment benefits) can be transferred directly.
Opening a bank account is free of charge. It is advisable to take your contract of employment if you have one.
You can easily change your Easy Account if you get a new bank. A normal account can be converted to an Easy Account either by the bank or directly by you - if you have an Easy ID (NemID).
You do not necessarily need a bank account yourself to have an Easy Account. If, for example, you use your spouse’s bank account, you can designate this account as your NemKonto.
