Safe, free and mobile-only

Lunar is a regulated and digital Danish bank, and for the first time we are opening our doors for non-citizens living in Denmark. Lunar got its own banking license in 2019 and has built a digital bank from scratch allowing all users to get a bank account and Visa card for free. Being a regulated bank your money is safe and secured by the deposit guarantee .

Usually, you pay annual fees in Danish banks when you open an account - there can be fees on services like account transfers, bill payment and markups when you use your card in other countries.

In Lunar there are no recurring annual fees or signup fees on your account or card.

Lunar has compared prices at www.basalbetalingskonto.dk, managed by Finance Denmark, the business association of Danish banks, April 5 2020. Prices regarding currency markups and replacement cards are collected from websites from Nordea and Danske Bank April 5 2020.

Why do non-citizens need a danish bank account?

As a rule of thumb, you need to have a NemKonto or a Danish bank account to receive payments like your salary and other payments from the public sector like tax refunds, student loans and social welfare payments. That’s all made to the NemKonto . You assign a normal bank account as your NemKonto. In Lunar you can do it directly in the app and it's for free.

Under “Products” you simply choose “Move NemKonto” - and voila, you’ll get all your payments into your Lunar account.
