[UPDATED JULY 2022]

IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT SWEDISH CURRENCY:

 

Sweden uses “Swedish Crowns” (SEK). Almost all businesses are “kontant fri,” otherwise known as “cashless.” 

HOWEVER

Some places will only take cash or ask you to pay with “Swish.” Unfortunately, only individuals with a Swedish bank account can use Swish, so the default will be cash. This will be for some businesses or market sales called “loppis.”

Our recommendation is to bring a little cash for those businesses that do not take credit cards and use your card for the bulk of your purchases. Call your bank to let them know you will be abroad so they do not turn your card off. Some businesses also accept other contactless methods such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, but you have to ask.
