About REALKREDIT DANMARK A/S

Realkredit Danmark A/S is a Danish mortgage credit institution and wholly owned subsidiary of Danske Bank A/S. It provides long-term, first-lien mortgage financing to households, housing associations, businesses, and agricultural clients in Denmark, funding its lending primarily by issuing Danish covered bonds listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen through segregated capital centres. The company operates under the Danish balance principle, closely matching loans with corresponding bonds to limit interest rate and currency risk at the issuer level; investors carry prepayment and extension risk inherent in the pass-through system, while borrowers pay the underlying bond coupon plus an administration margin and product-specific fees that vary by loan-to-value, amortisation, and risk class. Product types include fixed-rate callable mortgages, adjustable-rate loans with periodic refinancing, and loans offering interest-only periods within statutory LTV limits defined by property category. Collateral valuation follows Danish mortgage legislation, and the institution is supervised by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority with capital, liquidity, and risk frameworks aligned to EU regulation. Distribution and servicing are integrated with the Danske Bank branch network and digital channels; refinancing and prepayment are processed under standard Danish market conventions, including par prepayment for callable fixed-rate loans and market-price settlement for non-callable structures. For investors, covered bonds are backed by defined mortgage pools with ongoing disclosure via prospectuses and exchange filings; for borrowers, key considerations include contribution rates, potential payment changes at reset on adjustable products, and the long-run cost effects of interest-only periods. As one of the larger issuers in the Danish covered bond market, the company’s activities are closely tied to domestic property market conditions and the broader Danske Bank Group.
