How old do you have to be to get MobilePay?

Age steps from 7 to 15.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A child can get MobilePay from age 7, but a parent or guardian has to set it up from their own MobilePay profile under "Tilføj barn". The parent must prove custody by uploading the child's register information as a PDF from borger.dk, and if the child has two parents, both must be MobilePay users and both must agree before the child can send money. From age 13 a child can add a payment card, if the parent allows it, and tap to pay in shops. At 15 the child is asked to move to the normal MobilePay app, and anyone over 15 can sign up on their own.

Why

  1. From 7: child profile set up by a parent.
  2. From 13: payment card and tap, if allowed.
  3. From 15: the normal MobilePay app.

Details

Parents can turn each function on or off, for example transfers, shop payments, online payments and wishlists.

Tip

Download the register PDF from borger.dk on a computer before you start, so the setup in the app goes quickly.

What may differ

Age rules and the functions for children can change, so check the app before you set up a profile.

Common misconception

You have to be 18 to use MobilePay.

What actually happens

Children from 7 can use a limited MobilePay set up by their parents, and from 15 they use the normal app.
