Swedish krona to birr exchange rate today

On 11 November 2026, the highest rate any Ethiopian bank pays for SEK cash is 16.59 ETB per SEK, at Bank of Abyssinia - that is what you receive when you sell SEK. To buy SEK, the cheapest bank is Commercial Bank of Ethiopia at 16.55 ETB. Each bank sets its own rate and most reprice on every business day.

Bank of Abyssinia currently pays the most for SEK cash, at 16.59 ETB, while Commercial Bank of Ethiopia is the cheapest place to buy SEK at 16.55 ETB. The leader changes regularly, because banks reprice independently and often daily. The table on this page ranks all 10 banks by their current published rate and flags any bank that has not refreshed its board.

Across the 3 banks quoting SEK on 11 November 2026, the rate you are paid runs from 16.22 to 16.59 ETB. Choosing the right bank is therefore worth about 368 ETB on a 1,000 SEK exchange. The median bank pays 16.45 ETB. Banks that have stopped publishing are excluded from these figures rather than dragging the range.

The cash rate applies to physical banknotes handed over a counter. The transactional rate applies to non-cash movements - wire transfers, remittances credited to an account, card settlement and letters of credit. Banks price the two separately, and neither is reliably the better one: at some banks cash pays more, at others the transfer rate does. Both are shown for every bank on this page, so compare the one that matches how your SEK will actually arrive.

The buying rate is what a bank pays you for your SEK; the selling rate is what it charges when you buy SEK from it. The bank keeps the gap between them, called the spread, as its margin. A narrower spread is a better deal overall, which is why it is worth comparing alongside the headline rate - a bank can lead on one side and lag badly on the other.

These are official rates, taken from the exchange rate boards Ethiopian commercial banks publish themselves. ET-Forex does not collect, quote or estimate parallel (black market) rates. The Swedish Krona figures shown here are what a bank branch will apply, subject to that branch's own limits and documentation requirements.

ET-Forex re-reads every tracked bank's published board several times a day, and this page refreshes within minutes of a change. Most Ethiopian banks reprice once per business day, in the morning. Each row shows when that bank was last read, and any bank still quoting an older trading day is flagged and ranked last rather than being quietly mixed in with current rates.
