Here's how you can open and switch an account over to us.
We’ll ask you for some information so we can process your application.
We’ll try to confirm your identity and address electronically, but if we can’t we’ll ask you for proof of your identity and current permanent address. This may also be required if you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 16 opening an account.
You’ll need to be able to give us copies of your most recent payslips, or if you’re self-employed, copies of your certified or audited accounts for the last three years.
If you’re switching your account from another bank we’ll ask you for the last two months’ statements for your main account.
Once we’ve processed your application we’ll give you a customer agreement to review, sign and return to us.
The Current Account Switch Service 
makes switching your current account between your old bank or building society and Danske Bank simple and stress-free. We’ll transfer all direct debits, standing orders, saved payee details and regular payments.
This is a free and simple process, guaranteed to be completed within seven business days.
If your new bank or building society agrees, bank accounts that include an overdraft can switch using the Current Account Switch Service. And if you’d like to have an overdraft with your new bank account, speak to your new bank or building society before starting your switch. Your new bank or building society will be able to advise if you’re eligible for an overdraft, dependent on their lending criteria and your credit status.
For a list of frequently asked questions, see the Current Account Switch Service website.
For more details please view the Current Account Switch Guarantee.
If you have given permissions to TPPs to make payments on your behalf, or to access your financial data, access to these services won’t be transferred automatically to your new account as part of the Current Account Switch Service.
Please check our terms and conditions for more information about TPPs.
