Swedish bank numbers and account numbers
This article will help you to ensure that your customers are providing the correct Swedish account information when submitting payments. This will reduce errors and result in an improved user experience for you and your customers when using our local SEK payment route.
It displays the format and maximum number of digits required for bank numbers (also known as clearing numbers in Sweden) and account numbers, depending on which bank you’re sending payments to.
The bank number and account number should be sent in separate fields and not combined. Please note that some Swedish banks combine these beginning with the bank code followed by the account number, but they should be sent separately.
Nordea accounts where the account number is the same as the person's national identification number always has "3300" as the bank number.
