Dankort is Here: Accept Denmark’s #1 Card with Zero Extra Work
Dankort is now available by default for our Danish partners and merchants. No extra setup or integration is needed — just start the terminal and start accepting payments through Dankort instantly.
We are happy to announce that we have launched support for Dankort (also known as Dancard), Denmark’s national debit card. Starting today, Dankort acceptance is automatically enabled by default for all Surfboard’s Android-based terminals used by merchants in Denmark — giving partners instant access to one of the most critical payment methods in the region, with zero integration or setup required.
As Denmark’s national debit card scheme, Dankort is embedded in nearly every consumer wallet and dominates physical retail. But for ISVs, enabling it hasn’t always been easy — especially when dealing with global acquirers or fragmented hardware setups. But now, our partners operating in Denmark — or expanding into the market — can now offer Dankort as part of their payment stack with no development work, configuration, or certification needed. It’s the simplest way to offer one of the most business-critical payment methods in Denmark, fully white-labeled under the partner’s brand.
At Surfboard Payments, we believe local payment methods should be as easy to enable as global ones — and ideally, even easier.
🇩🇰 Built for the Danish Market
Dankort remains the most widely used card in Denmark, embedded into the daily lives of consumers and a preferred method for merchants due to its lower transaction fees compared to international schemes. Still, many global payment platforms treat it as an afterthought, leaving ISVs and POS vendors to navigate complex multi-acquirer setups or face merchant friction.
Surfboard is changing that — by making Dankort a native, seamless part of our white-label platform, now live by default for any merchant operating in Denmark.
What This Means for our Partners
Many payment platforms still treat Dankort as an edge case — requiring separate acquirer relationships, extra certification work, or even custom routing logic. We’ve flipped the model: Surfboard partners don’t need to lift a finger.
- Dankort by default: Surfboard’s Android terminals deployed in Denmark now accept Dankort out of the box — no action required.
- No dev work needed: Existing partners don’t need to modify their integration or touch a line of code.
- Lower costs for merchants: Dankort offers better economics than many international card schemes.
- One integration, full market readiness: Surfboard handles scheme routing, acquirer logic, and reporting — so partners don’t have to.
🧱 Developer Simplicity
If you’re already integrated with Surfboard’s in-store payments platform, your Danish merchants can now accept Dankort instantly, with the same API, same reporting stack, and same branded experience you already use. No code changes, no switches to flip. It’s already there.
