General information, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Verify current terms and eligibility with the provider before applying.

There is no single free business account that covers every Swedish need. Electronic money providers such as Revolut Business offer a free basic plan with no fixed monthly fee and usage based charges, Wise Business has no monthly fee but a one time setup fee about 50 euros, and Airwallex uses plan based pricing. Traditional Swedish banks usually charge a monthly or annual package fee, though some offer a low or zero fee basic package. Free plans tend to limit transfers, conversions, cards or support, so the real cost depends on how you use the account. Figures here are shown as of 6 February 2026. Verify current pricing with each provider.

What free means for a Swedish business account

Free usually describes the fixed monthly fee, not the whole cost of running the account. An electronic money provider may charge no monthly fee while still charging for transfers, currency conversion, extra cards or faster support. A traditional Swedish bank may advertise a low or zero fee basic package while charging for cards, Bankgiro and Swish for business, and foreign payments. The fee that matters is the total you pay for how you actually use the account. As of 6 February 2026.

Free and low cost online plans

Revolut Business offers a free basic plan with no fixed monthly fee and usage based charges, plus paid plans with higher no fee allowances. Wise Business has no monthly fee and lists a one time setup fee, for example around 50 euros for European Economic Area businesses, with usage based charges for transfers and conversions at the mid market rate plus a published fee. Airwallex uses plan based pricing with a foreign exchange spread above the interbank rate. These plans suit businesses that want low fixed costs and mainly digital banking. As of 6 February 2026. Verify current pricing with each provider.

Traditional banks and basic packages

Traditional Swedish banks such as SEB, Swedbank and Handelsbanken usually charge a monthly or annual package fee that depends on the chosen package, and some offer a low or zero fee basic package with charges for extra services. A bank account adds local services such as Bankgiro and Swish for business, lending and branch support that electronic money providers do not provide. As of 6 February 2026. Confirm the current package fees with the bank.
