Questions

How many characters does a Denmark IBAN have?

18 characters: the country code DK, two check digits, and a 14-character national account number (BBAN).

Is Denmark in SEPA?

Yes, Denmark is in the Single Euro Payments Area, so euro transfers use SEPA credit transfers.

Does a valid checksum mean the account exists?

No. The mod-97 checksum catches typos; it does not confirm the account or its holder. In the Netherlands, your bank's name check (Verificatie van Betalingsontvanger) matches the holder.
