Onboarding Danske Bank

As a customer of Danske Bank, you can use the Danske Bank District service to send and receive bank files automatically between Danske Bank and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central using the Continia Banking Direct Communication service. This article covers the steps to set up direct communication and, optionally, SEPA direct debit.

To request access to Danske Bank District

Before setting up direct communication in Continia Banking, contact your Danske Bank cash management adviser and request access to Danske Bank District with the following modules:

• Cash Management - Account Information
• Cash Management - Payments
• Cash Management - File Transfer
• EDI Web Services

To order bank files in Danske Bank District

After your subscription is approved, log in to Danske Bank District using the provided credentials and order the required files. Note that Danske Bank generates files overnight, so delivery may take up to a day.

To set up bank accounts to use direct communication

When you have received the user number and PIN code in a letter from Danske Bank, you can run the assisted Bank Account Setup guide to set up your bank account to use direct communication.

To set up a bank account for direct communication:

1. Search () for and select Bank Account Setup.

2. Click Next to begin the assisted setup.

3. On the Bank Accounts page, select an existing bank account, or create a new one by selecting New Bank Account.

4. In the Communication column, ensure that Direct is selected for the bank account, and then click Next.

   Tip

   If prompted, verify or update any missing bank account details.

5. On the Create certificate page, enter the user number and PIN code, then click Next. If sharing a certificate across companies in the same tenant, don't rerun the setup. Instead, share the existing certificate to avoid conflicts. For instructions, see Managing tokens and certificates.

6. Your bank account is now set up for direct communication. Click Next. The bank account status changes to Ready.

When you receive the bank files from Danske Bank District, you're ready to start using Continia Banking Direct Communication.

To set up SEPA direct debit for Danske Bank

This step is optional. If you need to configure SEPA direct debit (CORE or B2B), ensure you have:

• A SEPA Creditor Identifier Agreement from Danske Bank.
• A connection agreement with the following modules:
  • Collection Service DK - SEPA Direct Debit
  • EDI Web Service
• Key communication files for SEPA direct debit:
  • PAIN.008 - collection/direct debit request file (generated in Business Central).
  • PAIN.002 - status report (sent by the bank, received automatically).
  • CAMT.054 - bank-to-customer debit/credit notification (must be ordered in District).
