Swedbank Statement Format

Swedbank PDF statements have a clean, structured layout that is well-suited for automated parsing. Key characteristics include:

  • Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format (ISO standard)
  • Swedish number formatting with space as thousands separator and comma for decimals (e.g., 1 234,56)
  • Structured transaction descriptions with merchant names and categories
  • Separate sections for different account types (checking, savings, pension)
  • Swish payments clearly labeled with sender/receiver information
  • Autogiro and e-faktura transactions with reference details

Our Swedbank parser handles all these details, including the specific formatting used for Swish transactions, Autogiro payments, and salary deposits that are common in Swedbank statements.

Common Use Cases

After converting your Swedbank statement to CSV, import it into your accounting software. In Fortnox, go to Bank → Import bank file and select the CSV. The columns map automatically for bank reconciliation. Visma eEkonomi has a similar import flow under Bank → Transactions.
