Do you have to pay the first bill yourself when you sign up for Betalingsservice?

The payment slip and the first payment.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, the first bill under a new Betalingsservice agreement must always be paid manually. Companies send payment slips (indbetalingskort) on paper by default, or digitally to an electronic mailbox such as e-Boks. A digital slip can include a payment link, so you can pay and sign up for automatic payment in one step. Once the agreement is active, the bills appear in your payment overview and you do not need to do anything.

Practical info

Why

  1. Automatic payment only starts after the first manual payment.
  2. Payment slips come on paper by default, or digitally to an electronic mailbox.
  3. Once Betalingsservice is active, the payment appears on your overview without any action from you.

Details

A company that uses payment slips gets its creditor number (FI-kreditornummer) from its own bank.

Tip

If a digital payment slip has a payment link, use it to pay and sign up for automatic payment at the same time.

What may differ

The payment link is optional, so not every digital slip has one.

Common misconception

Many think that signing up means the first bill will be paid automatically too.

What actually happens

The first bill is never drawn automatically, so pay it yourself before the due date.
