ACCOUNT OFFER

Get £100 when you open a new Danske Freedom current account...

You'll need to be a new Danske Bank personal current account customer and open a new Danske Freedom account. Sorry, you can't get this offer if you've received an account opening offer from us before.

Complete 3 easy steps within 60 days of opening your account:

  1. Pay in £500 or more
    (it can be in chunks – no need to do it all at once)
  2. Use your debit card for at least 5 transactions (yes, Apple Pay and Google Pay count – cash machines, bank transfers or credits to your account don't)
  3. Register for and logon to Danske eBanking.

That's it. Complete these steps, and we'll pay £100 into your new account within 10 business days.

This offer ends on 19 July, so make sure you apply by then.

See full Terms and Conditions (PDF).

Get fee-free spending abroad

We won't charge you fees when you take out cash or pay using your debit card abroad, or for any online non-sterling purchases.

Whether you're hitting the trail or the beach, enjoy the scenery even more knowing your spending will be fee-free.

The Current Account Switch Service makes switching to us stress free.

  1. Day 1
    The Current Account Switch Service will check if the switch can go ahead.
  2. Day 3–5
    Your regular payments will be moved across to your new Danske Bank personal current account.
  3. Day 7
    Your balance will be moved to your new Danske Bank personal current account, and your old personal current account will be closed. We’ll let you know that the switch is complete.

If we are not able to complete the switch on your chosen date, we will contact you to agree a new one.
