SEK to USD over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 SEK ranged from 0.0994 USD (2 Oct 2026) to 0.1047 USD (4 Sept 2026), averaging 0.1022. Today's 0.0994 is below that average by 2.69%.

For 1,000 SEK, that range is the difference between 99.42 and 104.70 USD: 5.27 USD, or 5.30% of the low. The biggest one-day move was -0.75% on 10 Sept 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 96.44 USD for 1,000 SEK today instead of 99.42, keeping 2.98 USD. This rate moved more than 3% within the month, so timing mattered as much as the margin.

Who converts SEK to USD, and why

Swedish kronor are converted to dollars by Swedes buying from US stores or travelling to the US, by Americans paid by Swedish employers or holding Swedish shares, and by students returning from a semester in Sweden.

• Checking a US online order priced in dollars from a Swedish card
• Converting Swedish salary, dividends or pension to a US account
• Budgeting a US holiday from Sweden

Tip: Swedish notes are hard to sell abroad and Sweden itself is largely cashless, so carry little cash in either direction. Pay by card in the local currency and decline any offer to be charged in your home currency.

About the two currencies

The Swedish Krona (SEK) is issued by Sveriges Riksbank, the world's oldest central bank (1668) and used in Sweden, an EU member that has not adopted the euro. Sweden is one of the most cash-light countries in the world: Swish and cards cover almost everything, and many shops and buses no longer take notes.

The United States Dollar (USD) is issued by the Federal Reserve and used in the United States and its territories, and also Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama (alongside the balboa), Timor-Leste, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau and several Caribbean territories. It is the world's main reserve and invoicing currency: oil, most commodities and a large share of world trade are priced in dollars, which is why so many cross rates are worked out through it.
