Editing Debit card (section)

===Denmark===
The Danish debit card [[Dankort]] is ubiquitous in [[Denmark]]. It was introduced on 1 September 1983, and despite the initial transactions being paper-based, the Dankort quickly won widespread acceptance. By 1985 the first [[EFTPOS terminal]]s were introduced, and 1985 was also the year when the number of Dankort transactions first exceeded 1&nbsp;million.<ref name="dankort25th">{{cite web |author=Af Jesper Stein Sandal Mandag, 1. september 2008 - 7:09 |url=http://www.version2.dk/artikel/8297 |title=Dankortet fylder 25 år i dag |date=September 2008 |language=da |publisher=Version2.dk |access-date=2012-12-30 |archive-date=2009-05-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090518034255/http://www.version2.dk/artikel/8297 |url-status=live }}</ref> Today Dankort is primarily issued as a Multicard combining the national Dankort with the more internationally recognized Visa (denoted simply as a "Visa/Dankort" card).

It is also possible to get a [[Visa Electron|Visa Electron debit card]] and MasterCard.{{Clarify|reason=In combination with a Dankort, or separately?|date=March 2016}}
