How to send money from US to Denmark

Pick a company

If you're sending a one-off transfer, then Key Currency is the best option.

For recurring transfers, I'd suggest using an app or a multi-currency account with Wise.

For large transfers using a broker like Key Currency is the best option.

If your recipient needs cash, MoneyGram is the cheapest.

How much you send will affect the best option for you right now.

Pay for it

You have 4 ways to pay for your transfer to Denmark, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and cash deposit.

Usually, using bank transfer to fund your transfer is the cheapest but slowest option (ACH and takes a day or two).

You can use a debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay for quicker deposit but its a bit more expensive.

I suggest avoiding credit cards since these are most expensive and have cash advance fees (Amex is very rarely accepted in general).

Check and send

First time round you'll need to confirm who you are.

An SSN isn't required, an ITIN or a foreign passport works with most companies here.

Compare amounts

Ways to send money from the US to Denmark

There are 10 companies available for sending money from the US to Denmark, across broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more.

For regular transfers home

Money transfer apps

If you send a few hundred dollars home every payday, an app is usually the cheapest way and the least work.

Wise charges $26.99 on a $7,000 transfer with -0.05% markup, saves your recipient's details for next time, and DKK arrives in same day.

Funding from a US bank account or debit card avoids the 1% federal tax that applies to cash-funded transfers.

Sending without a US bank account

Cash & in-person transfers

Paying in cash at an agent can work without a US bank account.

The ID accepted depends on the company and the amount, so check before visiting if you do not have an SSN.

Hand $7,000 to a MoneyGram agent in the US, and your recipient will get 45,066.7 DKK in minutes - 24 hours.

However, transfers funded with cash or a money order carry a 1% federal tax from January 2021. To avoid it, fund with a debit card or bank account instead (most agents take both).

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

For a one-off transfer, an online service funded from your checking account is usually the cheapest way to send money to Denmark.

Of all online companies listed here, Wise gets you the most DKK per USD.

On a $7,000 transfer, you will get 45,836.87 DKK after a $26.99 fee and -0.05% markup.

But, bank funding (ACH) takes 1 to 3 business days to clear, while debit cards (and Google Pay/Apple Pay) are usually instant but cost a bit more.

For transfers over $10,000

Currency brokers

For large transfers to Denmark (e.g. a property purchase, tuition, or moving to Denmark), a broker like Key Currency charges no fee, gives you a dedicated account manager, and adds 0.25% markup on USD/DKK that gets lower the more you send.

It's also good to check Wise since you get a bulk discount on transfers over $25,000.

Business payments from the US

Global accounts

Global accounts are for US businesses paying people abroad.

Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle the recurring and batch payments, invoicing, tracking, and more.

Holding & spending currencies

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account like Wise is the best for holding and receiving DKK.

This is useful for traveling to Denmark, building up DKK balance, or receiving payments in DKK.

Wise converts $7,000 at -0.05% markup plus small fee and holds the DKK until you spend it.

Ways to fund USD and receive DKK in Denmark

With Key Currency, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending $7,000 gives your recipient 45,878.38 DKK.

Deposit USD by bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and cash deposit.

The simplest way is to pay from your US checking account

Pay by bank transfer using your routing and account numbers.

An ACH payment is usually cheaper than a card, but the it may take some time for it to clear before a money transfer company can send the money to Denmark.

You can deposit cash

You'll need to visit nearest MoneyGram branch and had over $7,000.

MoneyGram is the cheapest option and will get you 45,066.7 DKK on $7,000 transfer after fees.

Transfers funded with physical cash are subject to the 1% US remittance transfer tax, but funding from a US bank account or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

Zelle, Venmo and Cash App only support domestic transfers, so they cannot send money to Denmark.

Your recipient in Denmark can collect DKK through bank deposit and cash pickup.

They can collect cash in Denmark

Your recipient can collect DKK from a participating MoneyGram location in Denmark.

Things to consider before sending USD to Mexico

The way you fund the transfer now affects the tax, while US law gives you specific rights if something goes wrong.

Find the right USD/DKK company

Cheapest way to send money to Denmark

The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 45,878.38 DKK, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Denmark

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 45,681.37 DKK, with the money arriving in within minutes.

Cash-funded transfers now carry a 1% tax

Since January 1, 2026, a 1% federal tax applies when an international transfer is funded with cash, a money order, a cashier's check or a traveler's check.

Funding from a US bank account, including ACH, or with a US-issued debit or credit card is exempt.

The rule applies to how you pay in, so your recipient can still collect cash without triggering the tax.

The $10,000 rule is not a transfer limit

There is no federal cap on how much of your own money you can send electronically abroad.

Your bank or transfer company can set its own limit and ask for proof of where a large or unusual payment came from.

Cash reports and the declaration for physically carrying more than $10,000 across the US border are separate rules.

Do not split cash transactions to avoid a report.

You normally have 30 minutes to cancel

The US Remittance Transfer Rule requires a covered company to show the exchange rate, fees and expected amount received before you pay.

You can normally cancel within 30 minutes at no charge, provided the money has not been deposited or collected.

You also have error-resolution rights if the wrong amount arrives or the transfer never turns up.

Contact the company first and keep the receipt.

The CFPB explains the cancellation and error process.

Need to send a large amount of USD to Denmark?

For transfers over $10,000, Wise is the best option.

It offers the best exchange rate, which is more important than the fee for large transfers to Denmark.

While Wise may not always be the cheapest or fastest way to send DKK, they offer years of experience, and will offer you the peace of mind you need when sending large amounts abroad.
