Redeem your invalid banknotes – the fee will increase on 1 September 2026
News Since the 2015-2017 banknote and coin changeover, SEK 3.9 billion worth of invalid banknotes are missing. Take the opportunity to redeem your old banknotes before 1 September 2026, when the administration fee will be raised.
For invalid banknotes sent in after 1 September, the administration fee will be raised from the current SEK 200 to SEK 300 per application. This is being done to cover the administrative costs of handling the cases. For more information on which banknotes are invalid and how to redeem them, see the page Redeeming invalid banknotes.
The Riksbank has also sent out for consultation a proposal to stop redeeming banknotes that have been invalid for more than 10 years in 2027. Read more about the proposal here.
