How are address details handled in payroll payments/bank files?

From November 2026, banks and payment systems will introduce new requirements for how address information must be specified in payroll payments (bank files). This means that information such as city and country must be entered in clearly defined fields, instead of as free text. The requirement applies to all banks and now also covers domestic Swedish payments – not just foreign payments as before.

This is how the system handles address information:

  • For you as an employer Sweden is always specified as the country, and city is retrieved from the company's city field.


  • For your employees City is retrieved from the employee's city. If the country is missing in the address details, Sweden is automatically used as the country.
    If a country is specified but does not match the country's name in the official country register, the country field is sent as blank instead of incorrect.
    You can find the country register under Administration > System register > Countries.
    Example Sweden:

    In the employee's personal record, specify Country = Sweden.
