location.payment.subtitle
Sweden officially cashless since 2025. Many places refuse cash. Cards and Swish mobile payment essential. Cash rarely accepted.
Physical exchange rare in cashless Sweden! Forex Bank at Nordstan or Valutia on Kungsportsavenyen. Better: use ATMs (SEB, Swedbank, Handelsbanken - no fees) or just pay by card everywhere. Cash becoming obsolete - many places legally refuse it. AVOID: Airport exchange - very expensive.
Service included. Tipping not expected but 10% appreciated for exceptional service.
