Danish bank group first to offer mobile payments with Dankort

Bokis, a collective of more than 60 Danish banks, has become the first organisation in the country to offer mobile payments using the national debit and credit card Dankort. The card is linked to the banking collective’s mobile wallet, which was launched in February. “We have an audience in the customers of Danish banks who are very used to contactless payments and digitalisation,” said Søren Nicolaisen, director at Bokis and the Association of Nationwide Banks. “[The mobile wallet] was the next natural step. If we are not doing it with the banks, then someone will else do it. We want to be frontrunners in this market.”
