Money in Sweden for travellers
The official currency of Sweden is the Swedish Krona (SEK), denoted by the symbol kr.
Acceptance of cards versus cash varies by city, neighbourhood, and merchant. We don't publish country-by-country payment-method data, so check guidance from your bank, your card network, or your destination's official tourism resources before travelling.
For a transparent benchmark, compare any quoted rate against the FXMap reference rate, which is sourced from the European Central Bank and open APIs. Airport kiosks, banks, and money-changers add a markup or spread on top of the reference rate, which is why their quotes differ.
