Swedish Bank account foreign

[Sir Gelato]

I'm looking for an emi like n26, revolut, etc...
In Sweden.
I'm an EU resident and I have also nationality on an EU country.
I do not want to pays big fees on the exchange between euros and Sek.
¿Is there any Emi in sweden that has a fast incorporation with no fees?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Take care

If all you need is SEK and you don't need a dedicated Swedish account number,‌ take a look at TransferWise and see how their exchange rates compare to other EMIs.‍

There aren't really any EMIs in Sweden in the same way Revolut and others function⁠ for EUR/SEPA region.

You can try speaking with SEB and Swedbank about opening a non-resident⁤ personal account, especially if you plan to convert significant amount of SEK and EUR.

Yeah Transferwise and SEB may be your best chances to get something that isn't too‌ expensive nor to complicated to open.

What about your local bank don't they offer SEK‍ accounts?

 

[Sir Gelato]

Well,
I've never tried to do business in sweden⁠ or open accounts, and a client, his son is going to sweden to study and⁤ talking with him, one of the main issues is to open a bank account for⁣ his son, before looking deeply into the different banks I thought, let me ask the⁢ forum if anybody knows anything...
So with transferwise and SEB bank i'm fully covered.
Thanks a lot to @Sols and @Admin
Take care!!

TransferWise mastercard is you best bet for⁢ SEK . . works like a charm. . .low fees.

What? That is complete BS. Once his son has a residence permit and‍ tax ID number, it won’t be an issue at all to open a bank account⁠ in any bank.
He can also try Handelsbanken, they’re known to work well, but he⁤ will have to visit a branch for KYC. I also think he needs to have⁣ some sort of tax ID, at least a temporary tax ID. But that won’t be⁢ an issue as it will be assigned automatically once he registers as a resident.

Go for Bunq.com - €8/month, lots of cards, Zero FX (no exchange rate fees), great‌ app, they hold bank license in the netherlands...

Even Revolut would work. But a local proper bank account is a good idea as‌ in every country, it just makes your life easier for things like gym memberships. They‍ may have issues charging your EMI account.
