ATM commonly dispensed by cash machines
Bars are scaled to face value on a log scale, not to physical size. Shading indicates value: we have not verified this issuer’s colours. Converted at mid-market reference rates; what a counter pays is always less.
Getting cash
Swedish cash machines dispense 500 and 200 krona notes, but Sweden is among the least cash-dependent countries in the world and many shops, cafes and even some public transport refuse cash outright. Carrying a card is not optional there.
