Your cards are protected online by Strong Customer Authentication, which provides enhanced security when shopping online.  Online retailers may ask you for one of two methods to approve online purchases; our security app, Danske ID or a password you create, used alongside the six-digit one time passcode which we currently text you.

You must use one of these methods to make an online payment.

When we send you a new card, it’s set to work in the UK and on the internet only. This helps protect you against fraud.

But when you leave the UK, you don’t need to tell us in advance– just use your PIN when you arrive at your destination. This will activate your card in that country and lets us know it’s you using the card. When you get home again, use your PIN when you make your first purchase to reactivate your card for the UK.

The Irish Government Stamp Duty (GSD) is due if you hold a Credit Card and have an address in the Republic of Ireland.

From 2024 we will collect the charge from your Credit Card account annually in January.

What this means for you:

The Irish Revenue changed the charging period to align with the calendar year and in January 2024 a reduced amount of €22.50 was charged to your Credit Card account in January 2024. This is because the charging period was shorter.

The usual payment of €30 will be collected yearly from January 2025 onwards.

The table below sets out the changes.

The above charge will be converted into sterling before debiting your account using Danske Bank Exchange Rate. You can find out more at danskebank.co.uk/travelmoney.

For more information on GSD charges, please visit revenue.ie.

A recurring card payment, also known as a continuous payment authority (CPA), is a payment set up by a retailer using your debit or credit card details to take future payments from your account. The retailer will debit your account until you cancel the agreement with them, this arrangement is typically used to pay memberships and subscriptions and is made with the company you’re paying, not the bank.
