Swedish krona rate today

When you're in Gothenburg, and also the rest of Sweden, the official currency is the Swedish krona.

Yet, when you step into a currency exchange shop, you'll notice they use currency codes. The code associated with the Swedish krona is SEK, so be sure to take note of it when comparing exchange rates.

What you should know about exchanging money in Gothenburg

Before exchanging money in Gothenburg or any foreign city, it's important to be informed to avoid excessive charges and get the best deals. Consider opening a bank account in Sweden for long-term stays or substantial investments like buying property or cars.

1. Beware of 'zero fee' services
Services claiming 'no commission' often offer poor exchange rates, not reflecting the mid-market rate, leading to hidden profits for them.

2. Check the exchange rate beforehand
Familiarize yourself with the base rate to identify a bad deal from exchange services.

3. Avoid exchanging money at airports or hotels
Convenience comes at a price, as airports and hotels usually offer poor rates and high transaction fees.

4. Use ATMs strategically
Check if your home bank has partnerships in Sweden banks to avoid extra ATM fees, and inform your bank before traveling.

5. Opt for local currency
When using an ATM abroad, choose to be charged in Swedish krona for a fairer rate and avoid undisclosed exchange rates and additional fees.
