Companies of all sizes can bank with Danske Bank, but its offerings are probably more skewed towards larger businesses. The Denmark-headquartered bank doesn’t operate a branch network in Great Britain, although it does have dedicated business support telephone lines, and it operates a specialist business banking online platform called District. However, there is a £10 monthly fee for large business customers to access District, on top of the £7 monthly account fee and other transaction charges.
