It's easy to switch to us

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.

Things you need to know

Apply Online

To apply for a Danske Standard account, please confirm that you meet the following criteria:

  • I don't already have a current account; or I have a current account and want to switch it to a Danske Standard account (in which case we'll arrange for your credit balance and any direct debits or standing orders to be automatically switched over and your old account will be closed); and
  • I don't have an overdraft or any credit cards, personal loans or mortgages.
