As the only clearing house for mass payments in Sweden, Bankgirot has a central role in the Swedish payments infrastructure.
Every day all year round Bankgirot delivers a fast and secure payment flow in the financial system. Every hour payments flow between payers and payees, and every day we ensure that more than SEK 80 billion ends up where it is supposed to be. In doing so we not only make day-to-day living convenient and secure, we also help reduce costs and risks and, moreover, ensure that the Swedish economy keeps turning.
In 1959 Bankgirocentralen's (BGC) operations were founded. Bankgirot is owned by P27, which in turn is owned by Danske Bank, Handelsbanken, Nordea, OP Financial Group, SEB and Swedbank.
