Which countries use the Swedish Krona?

Swedish Krona is the official currency of Sweden. While Denmark, Iceland and Norway have their own Krone or Krona, you can’t spend SEK elsewhere in Scandinavia[2] — or any other part of the world for that matter. Swedish Krona is only valid in Sweden.

It’s worth mentioning that although Sweden is a member of the EU and may eventually adopt the Euro, national preference for the Krona remains strong[3]. You can’t use Euros anywhere in the country.

Common Swedish Krona questions 

How much is 1 GBP to 1 SEK?

Although rates always change, you’ll probably receive between 12.5 to 13 SEK for every 1 GBP you exchange*. That would mean 500 Swedish Krona in Pounds would cost just over £40.

Why is the Swedish Krona so strong?

This is a slight misconception. Yes, SEK is still fairly strong due to Sweden’s high exports and open approach to international business[7], but in recent years it’s been weakening because of those same factors, as most of its value is derived from overseas trading[8].
