Dansk Supermarked A/S SWIFT/BIC code

Dansk Supermarked A/S SWIFT code: DASKDK21

If an invoice shows DASKDK21 or DASKDK21XXX, you are looking at the same address for Dansk Supermarked A/S in Denmark. A BIC has a single purpose: it ensures that an international payment reaches the right bank. In practice you mostly come across the code on international invoices, in payment forms and in the bank details that Dansk Supermarked A/S provides.

On this page you will find what the code is put together, when you need it and what else you need for a transfer to or from Dansk Supermarked A/S. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, never a single account.

Danish Krone (DKK) and conversion costs

Denmark pays in the Danish Krone. A payment in a foreign currency will be exchanged into DKK on its way to Dansk Supermarked A/S – and the bank that does it picks the rate. Every conversion eats into the amount.

Which bank converts the money makes a difference: every bank has its own margin. In many cases you pay less to send DKK straight away through a transfer service with a good rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

Exchange rates move during the day. On larger amounts, a seemingly small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

What the XXX in DASKDK21XXX means

The layout of every SWIFT code never changes: a bank code of four letters, two for the country and two for the location. The result is DASKDK21.

Most payment forms work with both lengths. If a form asks for eleven characters, use DASKDK21XXX; if it wants eight, use DASKDK21.

Enter the code in one piece, in capitals and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Copying the code beats typing it by hand: a typo can point to another bank.

How to check DASKDK21 before you pay

Ask the recipient to send you their account details straight from a recent statement. Check it with DASKDK21 on this page.

If the code is wrong, the payment may be delayed, bounce back or cost extra – sometimes after weeks of searching. Remember the account number: a mistake there can be more difficult to undo than a wrong BIC.

Most online banking apps validate the structure of an IBAN – that confirms the format, not the owner. Some banks now check the payee name against the account before you confirm – do not ignore a mismatch warning. When you pay someone new, many people send a small test amount.

International transfers from Dansk Supermarked A/S: the real cost

What you pay for a payment abroad is made up of several parts, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. There is the transfer fee, possibly fees charged by intermediary banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

The real cost is often in the rate, not in the fee: the bank converts at a rate that includes a margin. A simple test: put the rate you get against the mid-market rate and look at the difference.

Specialist money transfer services frequently use rates closer to the mid-market rate. GoldexPay compares transfer providers side by side, showing what actually arrives before you commit. Using a transfer service does not require closing your account at Dansk Supermarked A/S.

Dansk Supermarked A/S: head office code versus branch codes

With 4 codes, Dansk Supermarked A/S is one of the banks that register separate codes for parts of the organisation and departments. The main code is DASKDK21XXX.

For most payments to a private or business account, the head office code DASKDK21XXX works fine. Just use a branch code when your contact explicitly asks for it, for example on a letter or invoice.

Not sure which code applies? Ask the recipient. Codes can change over time, so do not rely on old paperwork.

Receiving money from abroad at Dansk Supermarked A/S

To receive a transfer from abroad into your account at Dansk Supermarked A/S, the person paying you needs more than the BIC. In practice that means: your full name exactly as it appears on the account, your account number or IBAN, the BIC DASKDK21XXX and, often, your postal address.

The sender’s bank may request the bank address of Dansk Supermarked A/S, in which case the Hojbjerg head office is the usual answer. A typo in your account number can be harder to fix than it looks; copy them from your banking app rather than typing.

Expect that the incoming amount is smaller than what the sender paid. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Dansk Supermarked A/S may charge for incoming payments, and when currencies differ, an exchange rate margin comes on top. Agree with the sender who covers the fees.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks works like this: an email arrives with a message saying that a supplier now has new bank details and asking you to pay there from now on. A correct SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine.

Verify changed bank details through a different channel. Watch out for time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Call the bank you paid from straight away and have them start a recall and report the fraud.

Scams also target the receiver: someone claims to have sent too much and wants you to refund the extra to a new account. A payment confirmation from the sender proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

A note on our data

Our SWIFT/BIC directory is compiled from public sources and we update it periodically. Even so, banks merge or change codes. Figures such as the number of codes come from our directory.

Use our data as a reference, rather than as the last word: the recipient’s bank details come first. GoldexPay is independent of Dansk Supermarked A/S; we are a comparison site for money transfers. Found outdated information? Let us know through the contact page and we will look into it.

SEPA payments and the Dansk Supermarked A/S BIC

Since Denmark is in the SEPA zone, a euro transfer to Dansk Supermarked A/S from another SEPA country normally requires just the IBAN. Most banking apps no longer ask for the BIC for these payments.

For anything other than euros and for senders outside SEPA, DASKDK21XXX is still required. If a payment form has a field for the BIC anyway, entering DASKDK21 does no harm.

Instant payments in euros have become increasingly available within SEPA – whether Dansk Supermarked A/S offers them for your account is worth checking. As long as the payment stays in euros, a SEPA transfer tends to be inexpensive; it is the conversion that costs money.

How long does an international transfer to Dansk Supermarked A/S take?

How fast a payment reaches Dansk Supermarked A/S is determined by a few things: the currency, the number of banks in between, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Bank holidays in either country add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Extra checks on larger or unusual payments may also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

If the money seems delayed, contact your bank for the status. Keep the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms – you will need it for any trace request.

The bank that sent the money can request a trace. On the receiving end, you can look at your account for a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.
