How IBAN works in Sweden

Common questions about IBANs in Sweden

What is the country code for IBANs in Sweden?

It is SE. Every IBAN in Sweden starts with SE, followed by 2 check digits.

Where do I find my IBAN?

In your online banking or banking app, on a bank statement, or by asking your bank. Copy it exactly as shown.

Does a correct-looking IBAN prove the account exists?

No. A correct format only means the length and check digits fit. It does not prove the account exists or belongs to the right person. Confirm the details with the person you are paying before you send money.
