Finansforbundet is one of the lowest-cost trade unions in Denmark. Membership dues if you are:

Remember that you can deduct DKK 6,000 of your membership dues from your taxes every year.

Remember to notify us of any changes

As you can see, inactive members, such as members on parental leave, pay only DKK 55 per month. So, if for one reason or another, you become unemployed, you do not pay full membership dues either. Therefore, it is important that you notify us of any changes in your life that affect your membership dues.

Contact Member Service on tel. +45 3266 1376 or member@finansforbundet.dk.

All employees of the financial sector and all students enrolled in study programmes aimed at the financial sector may join.

You can resign your membership by e-mailing member@finansforbundet.dk, stating your membership or CPR no. and the reason you wish to resign your membership. Unfortunately, it is not possible to resign one's membership over the phone, as we need to receive your resignation in writing.

You may terminate your membership at any time by giving a notice of:

• 6 months from the first day of the next month, if you are still working in the sector (resignation pursuant to the statutes)
• 1 month from the first day of the next month if you are unemployed, retired or get a job outside the sector
