And then when trying to actually do the transfer, got a warning that "the clearing code has not been detected". Hello thank you so much for this, I had the same problem with Transportstyrelsen (had a fine to pay, damnit those parking signs are hard to sort out! Why the hell is it forbidden ONLY on Mondays 0-6?!).Īnyway, did everything, found out the clearingnummer for the particular branch of Danske Bank (from here: quite difficult to find), added the 7-digits account, could save it to Beneficiary account on Revolut. But if anytime this happens to you, search the code for that branch if they give you the address. Normally the four numbers before the account number (7 last numbers always, even if first or more are a zero) are the Clearing Code. It wouldn't if anything in those details was wrong. However, today the money went through correctly. I know, it doesn't feel natural to put numbers we don't have initially in the IBAN. ![]() Don't forget to choose the "Business" type of contact since you are sending to Skatteverket and not to a person. And of course in IBAN the one Skatteverket gives to us. Well, noticing the IBAN has not the numbers there, I replaced the 1281 by the 1306.īasically, in the field "Account" in Revolut, there will be this: 13060121613. Revolut was happy when writting 1200 (the first numbers after the two control numbers, that normally mark the bank, not the branch or anything) but when sent, it bounced back as Clearing Code was not correct.Īfter reading a lot of websites, I realized the Clearing code is a unique number for every account in one branch, so, as Skatteverket pointed out the address of the bank where their account is, I searched their Clearing Code, which turned out to be 1306. But Revolut won't recognize a Clearing Code in there. One would think their clearing code is 1281 as they are the numbers before the last 7 digits that are the Account number. ![]() The clearing code is, in fact, not given by Skatteverket, and their IBAN does not contain (although it should) their Clearing Code. ![]() Since no straight forward answer was given, and after facing the same problem, I will tell you the answer and how I arrived to it. And what is even more disappointing is that it really seems that these changes were made to put immigrants in a difficult position, since even though these numbers are required, if you call Skatteverket or some other authority like a housing office (for which the requirements are the same) you will get 0 help, as the people you contact will tell you that "they have no idea what you're talking about". Paying with Revolut is most convenient because there are no additional fees being deducted from the payee and because you can convert to sek directly and be in control of the ammount being sent, which is trickier if you'd pay via your regular account in euros (because you need to calculate according to the conversion rates and take into acount the additional fees, which can lead to you under or overpaying). It's easy to say to someone that they could just go and make a bank account(which can actually be more detrimental to you because the banks i checked which allow this have a 50 kr per transaction fees and no mobile banking), in reality it's not so simple and people moving and settling here have to do these things in a certain order, which takes a while. Sweden changed their requirements for Revolut transfers a while ago and you absolutely do need these numbers. Depending on the issue, you'll see an option to message us, call us, use the PayPal chatbot, or ask the community.I'm not sure why you answered this so confidently without actually knowing the situation.
