International activities often require foreign currency accounts in Denmark or abroad. If you receive payments from international customers, offering your customers the option of paying into a local account in their own country can be advantageous – it is usually cheaper and payment processing times are faster. Likewise, you could benefit by paying international suppliers from a local currency account in the countries you import from.
Opening a foreign currency account is easy
Danske Bank makes it easy for you to open an account abroad – we do it centrally using Danish-speaking advisors:
- in countries where Danske Bank is represented we can open accounts quickly and easily. Our common IT system means that you can see entries and balances in real time and can move liquidity between accounts in Denmark and abroad via Business Online.
- we facilitate contact to partner banks in countries where Danske Bank is not present, and we can advise you on the necessary documentation. Once the account has been set up you can access it via Business Online.
Advice on setting up abroad
If your company is setting up a business in one of the countries where Danske Bank is present, we can assist with an international advisor specialised in helping Danish customers with their international activities.
When activities expand to cover a number of countries – with accounts abroad in several different currencies – it can be difficult to get a complete overview of your company's liquidity situation.
Business Online provides both an overview and control
Business Online provides your company with information about its overall net liquidity position across countries in real time. You can make transactions and manage your overall liquidity from one location. This includes payments, collections, currency transactions and liquidity transfers. Payments to and collections from other countries can be done as local payments/collections at domestic prices.
Benefits of a liquidity solution
Our cash management specialists can construct a solution that matches your needs and provides the optimum management of liquidity, interest, foreign currency positions and incoming and outgoing payments simply and efficiently. You can, for example, have:
- an account structure that reflects your company's organisation and management structure
- an overview of your company's liquidity in real time
- a reduced need for credit facilities
- interest optimisation, as interest is calculated on the company's net liquidity
- overall liquidity in different currencies and you can use your credit limit across currencies
Danske Bank makes it simple to get an overview and manage your company's liquidity efficiently – also internationally.
International activities are often associated with greater risks. New customers or suppliers abroad? Unsure about local market conditions? Earnings affected by exchange rates? Danske Bank can help reduce the risks.
