The Dankort is a Danish debit card and is the national credit card of Denmark. It is usally combined with a VISA card so it can be used abroad.
History
The first Dankort was issued by Pengeinstitutternes Købe- og Kreditkort in September 1983. In 2001 Dankort A/S was founded, and it took over the rights to the Dankort in January 2001. In the beginning of 2005 the Danish banks introduced a fee for using the Dankort of 50 ører ($0.07) per transaction, but this was later withdrawn after massive protests from Danish politicians, company owners and the card holders.
