Swedish Krona (SEK) is the currency of Sweden, issued by the Sveriges Riksbank. Track any SEK cross-border SWIFT payment free with Ohmyfin — paste your UETR or bank reference to see the live status.
Details
SEK settles via the RIX system. Cross-border SEK uses SWIFT MT103 through SEB, Handelsbanken or Swedbank.
Typical processing time: Same day domestic; 1-2 days international.
On a SWIFT MT103, the SEK amount appears in field 32A together with the value date. The currency code is part of the ISO 4217 standard, so "SEK" means the same thing in every bank in the world.
If your SEK payment is missing or stuck, the most common reasons are correspondent-bank cut-off times, sanctions screening on the beneficiary or originator, or a missing field on the MT103 (purpose-of-payment, beneficiary address). Ohmyfin shows you exactly where the payment is in the chain.
