A Swedish limited company, the aktiebolag, must pay its share capital, at least SEK 25,000 for a private company, into a dedicated account and obtain a bank certificate before registration completes. Traditional banks such as SEB, Swedbank, Handelsbanken and Nordea provide that certificate and a full local account, while Revolut Business, Wise Business and Airwallex suit day to day multi currency operations once the company is registered.

What LLC and Corporations in Sweden need from a business account
A limited company or corporation in Sweden needs a share capital account and certificate to register, then a working account for daily operations, payroll, cards, and value added tax. Larger firms also value lending, deposit services and a local relationship, which traditional Swedish banks provide. Electronic money providers add low cost multi currency payments and modern expense tools but do not issue the share capital certificate and are not full Swedish banks. Confirm current terms and eligibility with each provider before you apply.
