I'm reasonably happy with SEB so far. I originally tried to get an account with SwedBank but they weren't interested until I had a personnummer (legally they're not supposed to refuse on this basis!) SEB were a lot more cooperative and set me up with a basic account (deposit for salary checks plus an ATM card) quickly. Most things seem to be fine through the website.

The one time I had to do some non-standard stuff they were pretty slow and a little disorganised, but it still seemed better than the UK banks I've used previously.

SEB is also quite a boomer bank? Still stuck with legacy numeric "usernames", manual limit changes from the office etc..

Username is your national id number, not really something strange in Sweden for banking.

OpenBank (part of Santander) also does this.... together with a 4 digit (only) password for internet-banking. Didn't know how fast I wanted to cancel that account after requesting it.
