Payment testing notes for Sweden
- Currency: SEK (Swedish krona). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: PSD2 strong customer authentication (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/389, in effect since 14 September 2019) applies to customer-initiated online card payments in the EEA; cards meet it through 3-D Secure, with exemptions for some low-risk and merchant-initiated payments. Source
- Card country: Geo checks match the issuing country of the BIN (SE) against IP and address. Generate one batch with a local BIN and one with a foreign BIN to cover both outcomes.
- Debit vs credit: Debit makes up just 36% of the ranges here, below 45 of the other 62 countries we cover. Use one debit and one credit BIN from Sweden if your fees or subscription logic depend on the card type.
- Billing details: postcodes in Sweden are 5 digits written as 3 + space + 2 (NNN NN), from 100 12 to 984 99 (e.g. 111 22); phone numbers use +46 — Mobile numbers start with 070, 072, 073, 076 or 079 (07x xxx xx xx).
- Swish mobile payments are widely used next to cards.
Paying online in Sweden: local methods and gateways
Cards are only part of the picture. These payment methods are popular in Sweden and usually sit next to the card form at checkout:
- Swish (wallet) — Swedish real-time mobile payment: the shopper is redirected to the Swish app (or scans a QR code on desktop) and approves with Swedish BankID; SEK only. Source
- Klarna (BNPL) — Swedish pay-later, instalment and pay-now provider, available to Swedish customers. Source
- Trustly (bank transfer) — Account-to-account bank payment offered by Nordic checkouts such as Nexi Checkout. Source

Which currency should I use to test payments from Sweden?
SEK (Swedish krona). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Shoppers with cards from Sweden can still be charged in other currencies; their bank converts the amount.
Is a generated Sweden card number a real card?
No. They start with real BINs from banks in Sweden such as Swedbank, but no bank issued them: no account, no money, no cardholder. Every real purchase, free trial or card check declines them. To pay online, use a virtual or prepaid card from your bank or a wallet such as Swish. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
