It displays the format and maximum number of digits required for bank numbers (also known as clearing numbers in Sweden) and account numbers, depending on which bank you’re sending payments to.

The bank number and account number should be sent in separate fields and not combined. Please note that some Swedish banks combine these beginning with the bank code followed by the account number, but they should be sent separately.

Nordea accounts where the account number is the same as the person’s national identification number always has “3300” as the bank number.

* If you have an 11-digit account number in Nordea, the clearing number is always the first four digits of the account number. If your account number consists of your social security number (10 digits), use 3300 as the clearing number.

** For account numbers with fewer than 10 digits, Hembanken automatically adds zeros between the clearing number and the account number so that the entire account number is always 10 digits long.
