Payments in Sweden 2020

2. Swedish payments are secure and efficient

Overall, payments in Sweden are secure, but the number of counterfeit banknotes has increased in 2020.

In addition, vulnerability increases when many people are dependent on the same card suppliers, particularly when few people have cash in their wallets. International payments can still be expensive and take time.
