Preparing for Your SEB Digital Banking Journey
- To connect with SEB's internet banking, you generally need to be at least 18 years old.
- A primary method for identity verification and transaction signing is a Mobile BankID or a digipass.
- For Mobile BankID, a Swedish personal identity number and the BankID app are essential.
- New customers with a Mobile BankID can often register and begin using internet banking immediately without needing to visit a bank branch.
Unlocking Your Personal SEB Online Account
- Navigate to the SEB website and select the Logga in (Log in) button, then choose Internetbanken privat (Internet bank private).
- You will be prompted to identify yourself using either a Mobile BankID, BankID on card, or a digipass.
- If using Mobile BankID, open your BankID app on your mobile device or tablet and tap Skanna QR-kod (Scan QR code) if prompted, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete your login.
- For private customers with a Finnish personal identity number, older user IDs and passwords for the Portfolio Service have been replaced; use online banking codes or a mobile certificate to log in.
- The SEB mobile app also allows login using Mobile BankID on the same device or a digipass.
Navigating Your Everyday SEB Financial Toolkit
- Access a clear overview of your accounts, cards, loans, and assets.
- Perform transfers between your own accounts with ease.
- Pay invoices by scanning the OCR number, amount, and recipient using your mobile camera within the app.

- View unbilled purchases and your latest credit card invoice.
- Trade funds and securities through your fund account and investment savings account.
- Monitor the progress of various pension savings and insurance plans.
- Access information about your loans and upcoming payments.
- Utilize expense charts to track where your money is spent, with automatic categorization of purchases.
- Set personal savings goals and estimate your savings trajectory.
- Receive notifications for new e-invoices and account transactions.
- Use the currency converter for common currencies.
When Accessing Your SEB Account Feels Tricky
β οΈ Cannot log in to Internetbanken or mobile app
Cause: Issues with authentication credentials (BankID, digipass) or forgotten access details.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you encounter issues logging in, call SEB customer service directly. For Swedish customers, dial 0771-365 365 (open weekdays 8 AM-8 PM, weekends/holidays 10 AM-6 PM). They can assist with BankID issues or guide you through the process if you lack a BankID or digipass.
β οΈ Forgotten Mobile BankID or Digipass password/PIN
Cause: Incorrect or forgotten authentication details for your digital identity solution.
Solution: If you've forgotten your Mobile BankID PIN, you'll likely need to reactivate or re-issue it through your bank or the BankID app. If you forget your digipass code, contact customer service. For critical security, you can block your Mobile BankID within the app itself, or by contacting support.
β οΈ Lost or stolen bank card
Cause: Physical card is missing or has been compromised.
Solution: Immediately block your card. For SEB cards, call 0774-24 24 24. This service is available 24/7. For other card inquiries (SEB Debit, Credit, Invited), use the main customer service number 0771-365 365.
Keeping Your Personal SEB Finances Secure
- π Never share your BankID, passwords, codes, card details, or other personal information with anyone who contacts you unsolicited, regardless of whether they claim to be from SEB.
- π If you receive an unexpected call, message, or email claiming to be from SEB, always stop the conversation. Instead, contact SEB yourself using a known, official channel. Do not use callback functions or click suspicious links from the unsolicited contact.
- π Ensure your online communication is secure by checking for a padlock icon in your browser, indicating an encrypted connection, especially before entering personal data.
- π Protect your computer from malware (viruses, Trojans) with up-to-date antivirus software. These can be used by scammers to gain control or visibility into your online activities.
- π SEB employs advanced security measures like a robust Information Security Management System, consistent with international standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST Cybersecurity framework, and utilizes 'Zero Trust' principles with solutions like Microsoft Entra ID for enhanced protection.
- π All SEB employees undergo mandatory annual security training, reinforcing a strong security culture.

Direct Responses to Your SEB Private Banking Questions
Q: How can I open an SEB bank account if I'm not a Swedish resident?
Opening a local account with major Swedish banks like SEB typically requires your physical presence in a branch for identity verification, especially without a Swedish e-ID. While digital alternatives exist for transactions, they may not offer a full Swedish bank connection. SEB's branches are prepared for English communication, but you'll need precise documentation regarding the account's purpose and the origin of funds. If you have a 'Samordningsnummer' (coordination number), issued for those with property or tax obligations in Sweden but no registered residency, it can significantly ease the process.
Q: Can I get a Mobile BankID for my child with SEB?
Yes, SEB allows you to easily get a Mobile BankID for your child directly through their app. This digital solution enables your child to identify themselves in SEB's app for young people, Swish, and other e-services.
Q: What should I do if I suspect fraud or have shared sensitive information by mistake?
If you believe you have shared sensitive information or have lost money due to a scam, it is crucial to contact your bank immediately. For Swedish customers, call 0771-365 365. Additionally, report the incident to the police.
