Danske Bank removes negative interest rates for all customers and introduces positive interest rates for personal customers

Danske Bank changes interest rates for deposits denominated in Danish kroner for personal and business customers. We are also changing the interest rate on business customer deposits in euros. The changes will take effect on 1 October 2022.

“We are now removing negative deposit rates for all our customers. Moreover, all personal customers who have their NemKonto account with Danske Bank can get an interest rate of up to as much as 0.80% p.a. on their savings. It is easy, and free of charge, for customers to open a savings account in Danske eBanking, and later this year, it will also become possible in Danske Mobile Banking. In addition, we will now offer an interest rate of 0.80% on child savings accounts. We will of course always be happy to advise our customers about their options in relation to savings and how to manage their deposits, including how to invest the funds,” says Mark Wraa-Hansen, head of Danske Bank’s personal customer activities in Denmark.

When we set deposit rates, we do so on the basis of a number of factors, including central bank rates and competitive and business considerations.

Personal customers
  • The variable interest rate on deposits denominated in Danish kroner will change from minus 0.20% to 0% p.a.
