How to redeem invalid notes
Here you can read what to do if you have invalid banknotes.
NB! The 500-krona and 100-krona banknote without foil strips and older 20-krona notes can be redeemed at a bank in Sweden
The older, and currently invalid, versions of the 500-krona and 100-krona banknotes without a foil strip and a see-through picture and the slightly larger 20-krona notes in a bluer tone can still be redeemed at a commercial/private bank in Sweden. Any fees for redeeming the banknotes are set by the respective bank.
The Riksbank's regulations on the redemption of notes and coins
The Riksbank redeems banknotes that are no longer legal tender on condition that the Riksbank assesses there is no reason to assume that
a) the note was acquired by criminal means, or
b) the redemption procedure may conceal that someone has profited as the result of criminal activity. |

The Riksbank charges
The Riksbank does not redeem banknotes if the total value of the notes is SEK 100 or less, as the Riksbank debits an administration fee of SEK 100 per case, regardless of how many banknotes are involved or how much they are worth.
It can take up to four weeks before the money is credited to your bank account. The Riksbank does not send any confirmation that your request has been received, nor will it send any notification when the money is credited to your account.
