Swedish Krona (SEK) Exchange Rate – Currency Exchange in Warsaw
You can check the current Swedish krona exchange rate at Kantor Argentarii right on this page – we update our buy and sell rates throughout business hours. Exchange your kronor on the spot at the Platinum Towers gallery, Grzybowska 61 in Warsaw, with no commission and no appointment needed.
Swedish krona exchange rate – buying and selling SEK
We handle both sides of the transaction: we buy Swedish kronor at our buy rate and sell them at our sell rate. Our reference point is the National Bank of Poland (NBP) mid-rate, and the difference between that and our rate is the entire cost of the exchange – we add no commission. The rates on this page and on the board in our office are identical, and you can quote the online price at the counter. Listed rates apply to current-series banknotes in good condition; they do not cover coins or damaged notes.
Exchanging Swedish kronor in Warsaw – how it works
The whole transaction takes a few minutes. You come in with cash, the cashier converts the amount at the board rate and pays out złoty or kronor straight away. For transactions worth 15,000 EUR or more we are required to verify your identity with a document – Polish AML law demands this of every exchange office. Argentarii is listed in the NBP register of currency exchange businesses; you will find the full list of currencies on our currency exchange in Warsaw page.
Which Swedish banknotes we accept
We only buy banknotes from the current series, introduced by the Riksbank in 2015–2016, in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 kronor. We do not accept the 1,000 kr note or any SEK coins. We also cannot take older series – Sweden’s central bank has withdrawn them and they are no longer legal tender. Withdrawn notes can only be redeemed by the Riksbank itself, via a mailed application subject to an administrative fee. The current series is easy to recognise by its portraits, including Astrid Lindgren on the 20 kr note and Greta Garbo on the 100 kr.
Reserving an SEK rate online
For larger amounts you can reserve a rate through the site: pick SEK in the calculator, enter the amount and your contact details, and we will hold the rate for 1 hour. The reservation is free and carries no obligation. You can also subscribe to rate-change alerts if you are waiting for a better moment.
What moves the Swedish krona rate
The krona floats freely, so SEK/PLN reacts mainly to Riksbank interest-rate decisions, the EUR/SEK pair and the health of Swedish exports. Sweden remains outside the eurozone and its economy leans heavily on foreign trade, which is why the rate can swing noticeably in turbulent periods. In practice: before exchanging, compare our rate with the NBP mid-rate from the same day – the simplest fairness test for any exchange office.
Cash in Sweden – will you need kronor
Sweden is one of the most cashless countries in Europe. Most payments go through cards or the Swish app, and some shops and cafés no longer take cash at all. A small reserve of kronor is still useful, though: at markets, in smaller towns and anywhere a terminal might fail. A sensible plan is to exchange a modest amount before the trip and pay by card where you can. We will buy back any unused kronor at the current buy rate when you return – just remember not to bring coins.

Frequently asked questions about exchanging Swedish kronor
What is today’s Swedish krona exchange rate?
We publish the current SEK buy and sell rates on this page and on the board in our office. Rates are updated throughout business hours, and we honour the online price at the counter. Our reference point is the National Bank of Poland mid-rate.
How much does it cost to exchange Swedish kronor?
We charge no commission and no transaction fees. The only cost is the difference between our buy or sell rate and the NBP mid-rate, visible directly in our quotes. The amount shown in the on-page calculator is the amount you receive at the counter.
Do you accept old Swedish banknotes?
No. The Riksbank has withdrawn all series issued before 2015 and they are no longer legal tender, so we cannot buy them. Withdrawn notes are redeemed only by Sweden’s central bank, through a mailed application that carries an administrative fee.
Can I exchange SEK coins?
No, we accept banknotes only. Exchange offices in Poland generally do not buy foreign coins, as they cannot be put back into circulation. It is best to spend coins while still in Sweden or keep them for tips and small purchases there.
Will you take a 1,000-krona banknote?
No, we do not buy the 1,000 kr note. We accept 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 kronor notes from the current series. The easiest option is to break a 1,000 kr note in Sweden, at a cash-handling branch, and exchange the smaller denominations with us.
Can I reserve a Swedish krona rate online?
Yes. Pick SEK in the on-page calculator, enter the amount and your contact details, and we will hold the rate for 1 hour. The reservation is free. For larger amounts it is worth calling first so we can make sure enough kronor are in the till.
