District is Danske Bank’s online business banking platform that lets business customers access and manage their business accounts, including viewing transactions and making payments and transfers.

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.
