Receiving money in Sweden: the local picture
Currency
Transfers into Sweden land in Swedish krona (SEK), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
Domestic payments clear through Bankgirocentralen BGC (Bankgiro and Autogiro) and the BiR interbank system; Swish provides instant mobile payments between participating banks in seconds. That matters for a transfer sent from Gothenburg: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
Swedish retail accounts are clearing-number plus account-number combinations (personkonto, typically 4-digit clearing plus 7-11 digits) and companies often use Bankgiro or Plusgiro numbers; Swedish IBANs are 24 characters starting SE. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in Sweden are overseen by the Finansinspektionen (Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority). Payment institutions and e-money institutions must be authorised by Finansinspektionen or passport in from another EEA country. Check the FI's register of authorised companies before holding funds with a provider.
