Terms and conditions - Cross-border
payments
Do you plan to make a cross-border payment? Or are you to receive a payment from a country
outside Denmark? Here you can learn what to do if you are to transfer or receive money from
abroad. Cross-border payments also include payments in foreign currencies in Denmark. If you
need further information, you are welcome to contact your account manager.
The necessary details
Using the correct details is important in connection with cross-border payments. Below we
list the most important ones.
IBAN
IBAN is short for International Bank Account Number. This is a number linked to all accounts in EU countries as well as many other countries.
IBAN is a code that identifies the country, the bank and the account number (please see list
of IBAN countries). You IBAN number is stated at the bottom of your account statements.
In Jyske Netbank Privat you find your IBAN number on the account statements in Netboks.
Moreover, you can find your IBAN number in the Mobilbank and iPadbank under the menu
item 'Modtag penge (Receive money).
BIC
BIC means Bank Identifier Code. The BIC is eight or eleven characters long. The first six
characters are always letters, and the rest are letters and/or digits, e.g. JYBADKKK (Jyske
Bank, Copenhagen). BIC was formerly called SWIFT address.
Payment Services Act
The Danish Payment Services Act is based on EU rules with the purpose of securing the citizens and businesses more uniform rights across the borders with a view to facilitating the
single market for payments in the EU. The Danish Payment Services Act comprises payment
in the currencies of the euro countries and the European Economic Area (EEA) countries and
payments to and from these countries. The act regulates, among other things, the distribution of costs, information and execution time for both incoming and outgoing payments.
Distribution of costs
The distribution of costs can be agreed between the remitter and the beneficiary in three
ways:
1. Costs in Denmark and abroad are paid by the orderer (OUR). In connection with
payments covered by the Danish Payment Services Act, OUR can only be used in
some cases. Costs abroad may be calculated as a percentage of the amount. This
amount may be large. Therefore we recommend that you include the beneficiary’s
1
banking charges in your payment. In some countries, for instance the US, the OUR
code is not respected, and the beneficiary may have to pay charges.
2. Costs in Denmark are paid by the orderer and costs abroad by the beneficiary (SHA).
3. Costs in Denmark and abroad are paid by the beneficiary (BEN). In connection with
payments covered by the Danish Payment Services Act, BEN cannot be used.
We recommend the use of the cost code SHA in all cases.
Cross-border payments
Payments
When you make payments, it is in the interest of both parties that the payment reaches the
beneficiary.
Therefore it is very important that you have the correct details:
 BIC/beneficiary's bank/clearing code
 IBAN/the beneficiary’s account number
 The name of the beneficiary (the name in which the account is registered)
 Preferably the beneficiary’s address
 Preferably the address of the beneficiary’s bank
Some transfers specifically require one or more of these details and cannot be carried out
without such details.
We offer several types of cross-border transfers. Your choice will depend on such things as
the size of the amount, the currency, the terms and conditions and liquidity.
You can make a transfer direct to an account abroad via Jyske Netbank Privat or by ordering
a transfer at a branch by using the form "Anmodning om overførsel til udlandet" (request
for cross-border transfer) and you can order an international cheque by using the form
“Checkbestilling til udlandet” (request for international cheque). The forms are available at
a Jyske Bank branch.
Are you a client of Jyske Bank Private Banking Copenhagen, you can transfer money to a
foreign account through Jyske Netbank or you can instruct your account manager to do
so.
Transfers via Jyske Netbank Privat
It is cheaper to make a cross-border transfer through Jyske Netbank than over the counter
at a Jyske Bank branch.
The charge for a cross-border transfer depends on the currency of the transfer and country
to which the transfer is made (the beneficiary’s country). If you are a client of Jyske Bank
Private Banking Copenhagen, please see Private Banking Copenhagen's price list.
2
The distribution of costs is SHA, which means that the remitter pays charges in the country
from where the payment is made, and the beneficiary pays costs, if any, in the country
where the payment is received.
You can still order a cross-border payment at your branch if you need to choose a different
fee code or another payment type.
Payment types to choose from when ordering a payment at a Jyske Bank
branch
SEPA payment
You can send payments in euro to Denmark, the rest of the EU as well as Norway, Lichtenstein and Iceland. You must use BIC, IBAN and the cost code SHA. If you chose a SEPA
transfer, you can send special SEPA-specific details regarding the payments direct to the
beneficiary. This may be a request or a condition on the part of the beneficiary.
Standard payments
We execute the euro transfer as a SEPA payment if, on the basis of details and the beneficiary, it is possible. Otherwise the payment will be sent to one of Jyske Bank’s correspondent banks. In special cases, for instance a currency to a country other than that of the currency, intermediary bank fees may be payable to banks abroad.
In connection with transfers within the EU and the EEA in the currencies of these countries,
you can only use the cost code SHA and OUR. In connection with other countries and currencies, all cost codes can be used.
Urgent payments
Urgent payments can be carried out at extra cost. In connection with transfers within the
EU and the EEA in the currencies of these countries, only the cost codes SHA and OUR can
be used. In connection with other countries and currencies, all cost codes can be used.
3
Execution time and exchange rate
The execution time is the time from our receipt of an order for a transfer until the amount is
available to the beneficiary's bank. The settlement date is the date at which your account is
debited. If an exchange takes place, Jyske Bank's market rate is applied when the transfer
is entered in the books - unless the amount exceeds the limit for the individual exchange
rate. The limit for individual exchange rates is: for NOK, SEK, GBP, USD and EUR, the limit is
the equivalent value of DKK 5 million; for other currencies, the limit is the equivalent value
of DKK 1 million and higher. Jyske Bank's market rates are available at Jyske Bank's website.

In special situations, please contact us
It is always advisable to contact your relationship manager in situations where you wish to
make payments to special countries.
Other means of payment:
Cheques
If you are unable to obtain details about the beneficiary’s IBAN/account No. and bank, it
might be a good idea to pay by cheque if only a small amount is involved.
The disadvantage of cheque payments are
-
that the cheques are to be forwarded by post;
that it may take a long time before they arrive and that they may disappear in the
post.
You can order a cheque by using the form “Checkbestilling til udlandet” (request for international cheque) via your branch. International cheques are settled at Jyske Bank's market rate and subject to the same limits as individual rates for transfers.
Are you a client of Jyske Bank Private Banking Copenhagen, you can order a cheque through
your account manager.
SEPA Direct Debit resembles payment services in euro
Moreover, you can transfer euro to a beneficiary if he or she has been registered as a SEPA
Direct Creditor (this information is available from the creditor).
You must enter into a payment agreement with the creditor, who can then automatically
withdraw money from your account according to agreement.
Before you can enter into payment agreements, you must arrange this with your account
manager.
Read more about SEPA Direct Debit at jyskebank.dk.
Payments from abroad as well as euro payments from Denmark
Payments
The fastest and most simple way of receiving a payment from abroad will be to ask the remitter to deposit the amount direct into your bank account. When you are to receive payments, it is important that you state all your account details:
6
-
Your name and address to which the account is linked
Your IBAN account number
The bank’s BIC: JYBADKKK.
Your remitter may have a choice of various transfer types. The most important thing for
you is that you have clearly expressed that you want a transfer direct into your account
(based on the details stated) and the due date. If details are missing in the transfer, it
may be difficult for us to deposit the money and in some cases we have to return the
money to the remitter.
Payments from EU and EEA countries
Jyske Bank receives transfers from a number of European banks, including Danish banks.
The remitter’s country, the currency and the currency of the credit transfers determine how
the amount is received.
Our settlement procedure for payments that fall within the scope of the
Danish Payment Services Act:

countries, or transfers where a currency is chosen that does not fall within the scope of the

Recalls
Cross-border payments can be recalled by the orderer until payment has been finally processed by International Payments.
Subsequently, payments can only be recalled with the beneficiary's consent. Unless the
reason behind the reversal is that covering by the bank does not take place because the
covering has been blocked due to anti-terrorist measures, money laundering etc.
Enter into a Service Agreement
When Jyske Bank receives a payment from abroad, the amount will be deposited in the account stated by the foreign remitter.
If you wish to have amounts deposited in a different account, you can enter into a Service
Agreement with Jyske Bank.
8
The agreement concerns all your incoming payments from abroad and/or in foreign currencies and it offers the following advantages:



When you receive payments, we have beforehand in the Service Agreement arranged into which accounts your foreign-currency payments are to be deposited,
e.g. euro payments into the company's EUR account or SEK payments into the DKK
account even if your remitter may have transferred the amount into another account.
You can at any time change the agreement, which can be in effect until further notice - or until a specified date. You decide.
The Service Agreement is free of charge.
It is not possible for clients of Jyske Bank Private Banking Copenhagen to enter into a Service Agreement.
Cheques
You may also choose to receive payments by cheque. You must, however, be aware that
cheques are bought at Jyske Bank subject to certain provisos. This means that if the
cheque is not honoured abroad, you risk that we will again withdraw the amount including costs and differences in exchange rates, if any, from your account.
We can also forward your cheque for collection abroad, and then you will receive the
amount without any proviso. It may take a very long time from your receipt of the cheque
until the amount is deposited into your account. This solution also involves higher costs.
You should also be aware that a cheque that has been cashed can be returned a long time
after it was cashed if it was a forged cheque. This also goes for cheques that were cashed by
collection abroad.
General terms and conditions
Notification
When you send or receive payments to/from countries outside Denmark, you will receive
an advice from Jyske Bank. In Jyske Netbank, you can choose whether you want to receive the advice/settlement note by post and/or only your Netboks in Jyske Netbank
Privat. The notification can also be seen under Account entries. By opening the individual
payment, you will see additional information about exchange rate, currency amount, etc.
9
Charges
At Jyske Bank you can obtain a list of prices applicable for the various forms of payment.
Often costs will also be incurred for the beneficiary abroad. We do not know such costs as
they may be agreed between the beneficiary and his bank.
Payments take place for your account and risk. Jyske Bank is not liable for delays or errors
made by the foreign banks we work with.
Enquiries
Please make enquiries at your branch if you wish to have any aspects of a cross-border
