Are there still ATMs in Denmark, and is it hard to find one?

Fewer cash machines, short distances

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes. Danish banks have cut the number of their ATMs by 24 % since 2023, and about half of that fall came from Danske Bank selling 177 machines to Nokas in 2024, so some ATMs are now run by companies other than banks. Even so, only about 1 % of people lived more than 10 km from the nearest ATM in 2025, about the same as in 2023. In towns and cities you will rarely have far to go.

Practical info

Why

  1. Fewer people withdraw cash, so machines are removed.
  2. Some machines have moved from banks to private operators.
  3. Distances to the nearest ATM have hardly changed.

Details

Machines that take deposits have also become fewer, but less so than ordinary ATMs.

Tip

Check the fee before you withdraw with a foreign card, and take out a little at a time.

What may differ

Withdrawal limits and fees depend on your bank and on the operator of the machine.

Common misconception

ATMs have disappeared from Denmark.

What actually happens

There are fewer ATMs, but most people still live close to one.
