How to Pay in Sweden

Sweden is one of the world's most cashless societies. Nearly all shops, cafes, and transport accept cards or contactless payment. Swish is the dominant peer-to-peer payment app but requires a Swedish bank account, so international travelers should rely on Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Revolut.

Pro tip: Add Revolut to Apple Pay or Google Pay. This is the best substitute for Swish that international travelers can set up.
