How can I get paid from abroad in Copenhagen?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to DKK and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to DKK?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Denmark. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.

Check Finanstilsynet's company register before relying on a provider.
