Currency

Sweden uses the Swedish Krona (kr, SEK)

Card usage

There is almost no other country where internationally-branded debit or credit cards are as easily accepted as in Sweden. The country is quickly becoming a completely cashless society and you shouldn’t have a problem using your Monzo card anywhere there. In fact, several establishments such as some major hotels and some museums do not accept physical cash at all to settle the bill (see the Crowdsourced merchant data section for some examples) .

Even churches and the homeless now accept card and/or digital payments.

Contactless payments work fine in most establishments so you can use your Apple-pay enabled Monzo card where contactless terminals are in operation.

ATMs

Payment and withdrawal limits

Crowdsourced merchant data

  • Hotels operated under the Nordic Choice group are ‘card only’.
  • The ABBA Museum in Stockholm is completely cashless. It is advised to book admission tickets online as you each ticket is time-restricted only.

Miscellaneous

As of December 2016 Sweden has the lowest proportion of cash machines in Western Europe with 333 machines per one million inhabitants.
