As mobility within Europe continues to increase, financial ties between Denmark and Portugal are becoming more common. Whether you are a student studying in Lisbon, a freelancer relocating to Porto, or a family member supporting a loved one abroad, sending Danish Krone (DKK) to Euro (EUR) is now part of everyday life.

However, using banks for international transfers often means high fees, poor exchange rates, and long delays. In this post, we’ll walk you through a better way to exchange and send money from Denmark to Portugal, and show how Panda Remit helps you save time and money while staying safe.

Growing Demand: Education and Remote Work Across Borders

According to EU education statistics, Portugal is seeing an increase in international students from Nordic countries. Danish students now make up a growing portion of foreign students at the University of Lisbon, University of Porto, and other institutions.

These students often rely on cross-border transfers to:

• Pay tuition and registration fees

• Cover rent and daily living expenses

• Receive financial support from families abroad

At the same time, many Danish remote workers are choosing to live or “workcation” in Portugal, especially in popular digital nomad destinations like Lisbon and Coimbra. These users also need reliable, cost-effective ways to move money between countries.

The Problem with Banks

Sending money from Denmark to Portugal through a traditional bank might seem straightforward, but it usually comes with:

• High transfer fees (often DKK 100–250)

• Unfavorable exchange rates (with hidden margins up to 2%)

• Delays of 3–5 business days

• Unexpected deductions by intermediary banks

For urgent transfers or regular support, this system is outdated and expensive.

Real User Feedback

“My daughter studies in Porto, and I send her living expenses every month. I used to go through my bank, paying over 150 kroner per transfer, and it often took three days to arrive. Since switching to Panda Remit, transfers are near instant, the fees are much lower, and I get notifications every step of the way. It's a game changer.”
