> I got a letter a few days ago saying Swedbank was going to stop using paper for pension information and switch to digital. The site they gave only supports Mobil BankID. (They say they will add BankID på fil at some point.)

Ugh, typical Swedbank. Easily the worst bank in Sweden in my opinion...

When I moved here was during a point when it was hard for a new immigrant to get an id unless vouched for. Banks could issue id then. My friends had a Swedbank account, so I was able to get set up with them.

What is the best bank in Sweden? I guess I should say, what is the best one with an office in Trollhättan?

Also, I live above the Swedbank. In the worst case scenario I can easily (with some wait time, because Swedbank) do my banking in person.

Totally understandable

Sadly don't have any personal recommendations as I also use Swedbank and do not live in Trollhättan, though I see a lot of people who like Handelsbanken or Skandia.

> Also, I live above the Swedbank.

That sounds really convenient, don't know about your office but mine is such a nightmare, only open 3 days a week 9am-12pm!

Open every weekday, so better than that, but still "banker's hours", and understaffed enough so there is often a queue.
