Can you add Dankort to Apple Pay?

Pay as Dankort with iPhone or Apple Watch.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes. Since 2022 you can add a Visa/Dankort or Mastercard Dankort to Apple Pay and pay with an iPhone or Apple Watch. More than 40 Danish banks support it, including Danske Bank, Nordea, Jyske Bank and many savings banks. You add the card in the Wallet app by tapping "+", which takes about two minutes, or through your mobile bank. In shops you confirm with Face ID instead of a PIN, and the card number is not stored on the phone or on Apple's servers.

Practical info

Why

  1. The shop can receive the payment as a Dankort payment.
  2. Online you do not have to type the card number or control digits.
  3. Shops may not add a fee for Apple Pay linked to a Dankort.

Details

If the card is already in Apple Pay but the Dankort logo does not show, remove the card and add it again.

Tip

Check that your bank is on the list of banks that offer Dankort in Apple Pay before you try to add the card.

What may differ

The list of banks can change, and for Google Pay and other wallets you should ask your bank whether the Dankort part is supported.

Common misconception

Paying with Dankort in Apple Pay is less safe than with the physical card.

What actually happens

It is as safe as the physical card, and the real card number is never stored on the phone.
