I moved to Sweden last year and in that time I think I’ve made two cash withdrawals, both in the first couple of months before I had a Swedish bank account set up. Since then (and armed with a Swish account), nothing. Like you I can’t remember what the physical notes look like. Probably about 10% of shops and bars advertise themselves as not taking cash, and every single place I’ve been too takes card for any normal amount of money (even though I did feel a bit ridiculous using my card for a 5Kr icecream at IKEA the other day).

- robin_reala 8y agoQuarter German, mostly British, good enough a guess :) Actually, I’m am a bit surprised about the lack of contactless here. It’s definitely come along quickly even in the last 12 months, but it was pervasive in the UK. First time I used my phone to pay in ICA they looked at me like I was a wizard hacker.
