Our verdict

Danske Bank's Danske Toprente suits adults in Denmark who can leave their savings untouched for the full term, and the everyday side is cheap at monthly fees of DKK 0 to DKK 49. The reward sits on the fixed term account, so pick this one to hold savings rather than to spend day to day.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Monthly fees of DKK 0 to DKK 49 on the everyday account, and the bank lists a no monthly fee model (no monthly fee).
  • Deposits sit with the EU deposit guarantee scheme at EU DGS up to EUR 100,000.
  • Help is available by email, chat and phone, so a phone line and live chat are both in the mix.
  • Free ATM withdrawals and local IBAN payment details come with the everyday account (free atm, iban).

Cons

  • A fixed rate over a term of 3 to 12 means the balance stays put for months at a time.
  • A minimum deposit of DKK 10,000 ties up real cash, and taking money out early costs a penalty.
  • The stated audience is student and teen, so the account is pitched at a narrower group than a general current account.

Who it suits

  • Adults in Denmark with savings to place for a set period and no need for daily access to the balance.
  • Readers who want deposit protection through the EU guarantee scheme rather than a payments account.
  • Younger savers in Denmark: the stated audience is student and teen and the everyday account carries free ATM withdrawals.

Who should look elsewhere

  • bunq, if a monthly fee of €0 makes the fee the main reason to switch.
  • Pixpay FR, for a euro account with a monthly fee of €3.99 rather than Danish kroner.
  • bunq Spain Bank Account, if a monthly fee of €0 and a bank outside Denmark fit better.

Rates and terms

Danske Toprente pays a fixed rate, and the money is tied for 3 to 12. The rate does not move while the term runs, so a quiet month for market rates changes nothing here. Take the shortest term that fits the money you can leave alone. At the end of the period the account moves on automatically to a Danske Indslaan-type account, and taking money out early costs a penalty.

Frequently asked questions

What does the account cost each month?+

Monthly fees run DKK 0 to DKK 49 on the everyday account, and the bank groups that under a no monthly fee model (no monthly fee). Basic banking is the part that stays cheap; the reward for saving sits on the fixed term account rather than on day to day spending.

Is my deposit protected?+

Yes. Deposits are covered by the EU deposit guarantee scheme at EU DGS up to EUR 100,000. Danske Bank A/S is supervised in Denmark by Finanstilsynet, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, so the money sits with a bank rather than a payments firm.

What rate do I get and for how long?+

The rate on Danske Toprente is fixed, and the term runs 3 to 12. Because the rate is set for the period, it does not follow market moves, which is the trade in plain terms: a known return in exchange for money that stays put.

How much do I need to put in?+

The minimum deposit is DKK 10,000, and that is the amount the term rate is built for. Smaller balances fit better in the everyday account, where fees run DKK 0 to DKK 49 and no period is attached to the balance.

Can I withdraw money before the term ends?+

Not without cost. Money on this account is tied for 3 to 12, and taking it out before the period ends costs a penalty. Plan the deposit around cash that will not be needed in the meantime.

Who is the account aimed at?+

The bank's stated audience for this range is student and teen, and a minimum age applies to open Danske Toprente. In practice the term and the DKK 10,000 deposit point to adults who already have savings to place.

Can I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs through email, chat and phone, so a phone line, live chat, email and a help centre are all listed. For an account held in Denmark that mix covers both quick questions and longer talks about the fixed term.

What happens when the term ends?+

The account changes automatically to a Danske Indslaan-type account, so the balance stays usable but the fixed term rate is no longer the arrangement. Check the rate you are moved onto at that point.

Do I get free cash withdrawals and local payment details?+

The everyday account lists free atm alongside local details of iban, so cash machines and standard domestic payment details are part of the package. That keeps everyday spending simple while the fixed term account handles the savings side.
