Denmark pioneering cashless society! Many shops legally refuse cash. MobilePay used by 90% of population. Banks: Danske Bank, Nordea, Jyske Bank - but ATMs rare as cash use plummets. Cards everywhere - Dankort domestic card plus Visa/Mastercard. Public transport contactless. 2025 legislation guarantees cash access but enforcement weak. Truly digital economy!
Service included. Tipping not expected. Round up for exceptional service only - very rare.
