Card payment is the most used payment method among Danes when shopping online. It is important that your web shop offers card payment, since all consumers have a payment card, and you therefore accommodate most customers by offering payment by card. It is a really good idea to offer VISA/Dankort to your customers, as it is the most widely issued payment card in Denmark.

What is a Visa Debit card?

A VISA Debit card is a debit card that works in many ways like VISA/Dankort. With a VISA Debit card, the full amount is withdrawn immediately after a transaction, and it is therefore not possible to overdraft and spend more money than there are on the account.

What is VISA Electron?

VISA Electron is a debit card that has balance control. It is therefore not possible to overdraft and spend more money than there is on the account with a VISA Electron. The money from a transaction is withdrawn immediately after the transaction, which makes it easier to keep track of your transactions in your account.

What is VISA/Dankort?

VISA/Dankort is an international payment card that consists of two different payment cards in one card – a Dankort and a VISA card. Dankort is Denmark’s national payment card, while VISA is international and is used all over the world. VISA/Dankort is a debit card which is directly linked to the user’s account. When a customer has made a purchase with the card, the full amount is withdrawn either on the same day or the following day.

VISA/Dankort is one of Danes’ favorite payment methods, which offers a lot of flexibility, as it can be used both for payment online and in stores all over the world. It is therefore advantageous to offer your customers to pay with VISA/Dankort on your web shop.

How does a VISA card work?

As mentioned, VISA cards can be used both in shops, apps and online on your web shop – also if you want to be international. Users can use the form of payment everywhere, regardless of whether contactless payment is used. VISA is the most widely used form of payment that enables you to meet your customers.
