The Challenge of Traditional Danish Banking for Foreign Entrepreneurs
Denmark is one of Europe’s most business-friendly countries. However, for entrepreneurs and companies operating internationally, opening a local Danish business bank account can be frustratingly complex.
If you’re a non-resident or running a business outside of Denmark, major banks like Danske Bank or Nordea will typically ask for:
- A Danish company registration (CVR number)
- A personal identification number (CPR)
- Proof of local residency
Without these, getting access to a local IBAN or sending and receiving DKK payments becomes a roadblock.
How Easykonto Simplifies Danish Business Banking
At Easykonto, we eliminate the unnecessary friction. You can open a Danish business account without a CVR or CPR number. Our streamlined onboarding process is designed for:
- International businesses
- Startups
- Freelancers
- SMEs looking to expand into Denmark
No need to set up a subsidiary or branch in Denmark. No weeks-long processing times. Just simple access to financial infrastructure — fast.
Why Traditional Banks Say No
Danish banks are under heavy regulatory pressure after past scandals involving weak AML/KYC practices. As a result:
- They require extensive documentation
- Approval times take weeks
- Foreign applicants often face rejection even with a valid use case
For example:
- Danske Bank requires CVR + CPR numbers and in-person verification.
- Nordea often demands a Danish residence permit and tax ID (TIN).
