swedish bank details

Swedish payment instructions

Payment details needed for Swiss money transfers:

  • Name of Beneficiary (and address if you have it)
  • Name of Swedish Bank (and address if you have it)
  • IBAN (International Bank Account Number):
  • BIC (Bank Identifier Code) or SWIFT code

The IBAN includes various codes, like your branch and account numbers, and is the standard system for sending cross-border payments across Europe.  Swedish IBANs have 24 characters, starting with 'SE' followed by 22 characters, and can usually be found on your bank statement or other paperwork, along with your BIC or SWIFT code.

If you are paying a third party (eg, lawyer, supplier, other individual) you can forward on the invoice or paperwork you have been sent, and the payments team at Currency Index will take care of the rest, without you needing to fill in endless forms.

Questions on sending money to Sweden

SEkk bbbc cccc cccc cccc cccc

Can you provide proof of payment?

Yes, once we have sent payment on your behalf, we can issue an International Payment Receipt, giving proof of the transferred amount and beneficiary. This service is free for payments over £10,000, otherwise a £5 charge would apply.

Is there a minimum or maximum transfer amount?

Generally, Currency Index's service is only efficient for payments to Sweden of over £1,000 equivalent. There is no maximum amount we can transfer on your behalf.

If you are still using your bank to send money to Sweden, try Currency Index instead and you will see a world of difference - not only a much cheaper service with better exchange rates, but super-fast transfers, clear explanations on rates, and the knowledge that you are dealing with regulated specialists in overseas money transfers.
