How do I buy Bitcoin in Sweden?

A simple step-by-step guide if you want to buy a small amount of bitcoin in Sweden and send it as a voluntary donation to Sverigefakta.

You normally need BankID (Sweden's national e-identification), a payment method and a bitcoin wallet. The options offered may change at each service.

How it works – four steps

1
Choose a service
Pick a service where you can buy bitcoin with Swedish kronor (SEK). Below we show two established Swedish providers: Safello and BTCX.
2
Verify your identity
Follow the service's instructions and verify yourself with BankID, the electronic ID used by almost every Swedish bank. Crypto services are normally required to identify their customers.
Identification happens at the service you choose, never at Sverigefakta.
3
Buy bitcoin
Enter the amount you want to buy, choose an available payment method — often a card, bank transfer or Swish, the Swedish instant payment app — and check the rate, fee and total cost before confirming.
You decide the amount. Never buy more than you can afford to lose.
4
Send your support
Open your bitcoin wallet, choose “Send”, scan Sverigefakta's QR code or paste the address, and check the address carefully before approving.

Two ways to buy
