The official Sweden currency is the Swedish Krona (SEK), often written as "kr" locally. You'll need Swedish Krona for expenses like food, transport, accommodation, and shopping. While Sweden is part of the EU, it doesn't use the Euro — it has its own currency, the Swedish krona.

SEK stands for Swedish Krona (Svenska Kronor in Swedish). It's the official currency code for Sweden's money, just like AUD stands for Australian Dollar. When you see "SEK" in exchange rates or on your Travel Money Card, it refers to Swedish Krona.

In Sweden, the correct term is "krona" (singular) and "kronor" (plural). This is different from Norway and Denmark, which use "krone" and "kroner." So if you're heading to Sweden, you'll be using Swedish kronor (SEK), not kroner. The terms are often confused because Scandinavian countries have similarly named currencies.

It's usually better to load Swedish Krona onto your card in Australia before your trip. You can lock in the exchange rate, avoid inflated airport fees, and arrive in Sweden ready to spend. 

Sweden is one of the world's most cashless countries — many businesses, including shops, restaurants, and even some public toilets, have stopped accepting physical cash entirely. Having Swedish Krona loaded onto your Travel Money Card is essential, as cards are the primary payment method everywhere from Stockholm to remote northern villages. Some smaller churches or charity collections may prefer cash, but it's increasingly rare.

No — Australian Dollars are not accepted in Sweden. You'll need to convert your AUD to SEK before your trip. Loading Swedish Krona onto your Travel Money Card in Australia generally offers better rates and more convenience than exchanging at Stockholm Arlanda Airport or local Swedish exchange bureaus.

This depends on your travel style and length of stay. Sweden can be expensive, particularly in Stockholm. For a week-long trip, budget travelers might need 3,000-5,000 SEK loaded onto their card, while moderate spenders might need 6,000-10,000 SEK. Since almost all expenses can be paid by card in Sweden, you simply need enough to cover meals, transport, and activities — cards are accepted everywhere.

No — Sweden is a member of the European Union but has chosen not to adopt the Euro. Sweden uses its own currency, the Swedish Krona (SEK). While some tourist businesses in Stockholm might accept Euros, you'll get poor value, and it's not common. Stick to Swedish Krona for the best experience.

Yes! Your Travel Money Card loaded with Swedish Krona works everywhere cards are accepted in Sweden — which is virtually everywhere. From Stockholm's Gamla Stan to the Ice Hotel in Kiruna, from Gothenburg's harbourfront to Malmö's modern architecture, your card will be welcomed. Sweden's advanced payment infrastructure makes card usage seamless nationwide.
