What you need to know.

MitID

MitID is a personal key you need to access digital services that you need to open your Danish bank account. You can obtain your MitID by going, in person, to a Citizen Service Centre.

NemKonto

A NemKonto is a normal bank account that you assign as your NemKonto. Everyone in Denmark needs to assign a bank account as their NemKonto to receive payments from Danish public institutions. Some private enterprises can also make payments to your NemKonto.
