Customers can buy Danish bank notes in Landsbankinn branches and ATMs throughout Iceland. We would like to advise customers that the Bank no longer accepts DKK 1,000 and 500 bills, nor any Faroe Islands króna bills. There are no changes to transactions in DKK 200, 100 and 50 bills. Cash transactions comply with the Act on Actions to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Tighter rules in Denmark limit the reception of bank notes by foreign banks and Landsbankinn is as a result no longer able to accept DKK 1,000 and 500 bills.
