Information about Eurocard

As of 1 September 2025, a new framework agreement for payment cards and travel accounts will come into effect. The Swedish National Debt Office has signed this agreement with SEB Kort, which will continue to be the supplier of both Eurocard payment cards and Diners travel accounts. The new agreement is valid until 31 August 2028, with the possibility of extension until 31 August 2029 at the latest.

During a transition period of six months – until 28 February 2026 – it is still possible to use your Eurocard, but after this date all current cards will cease to function.

It is important to note that in the new framework agreement it is no longer possible to order payment cards with private payment responsibility. All new cards will have the authority as the payment responsible. This means that purchase cards, virtual cards and service cards are invoiced to the authority, although in some cases it is the employee who receives the invoice first. In the case of service cards with individual invoicing, the employee is responsible for paying the invoice, but if payment is not made after reminders, the authority is liable for payment.

When it comes to who can receive a payment card (Eurocard), the need must always be justified in connection with the application. The person approving the order should follow the amount limits specified in the delegation order. For example, section heads and heads of departments can approve cards with a purchase limit of up to SEK 25,000.

We plan to introduce a digital attestation function via Easit, where both the customer and the manager confirm that they have read the guidelines for card use.

The cardholder will need to agree to a number of conditions in connection with ordering the card. These conditions include that the card may only be used for service-related purchases, that it must be kept safe, that the PIN code must not be shared, and that all purchases must be documented. The cardholder is obliged to immediately report loss or suspected misuse of the card. It is also important to be aware that misuse of the card may lead to disciplinary action, including salary deductions. The card will be automatically terminated upon termination of employment.

Further information and guidelines will be communicated in connection with the introduction of the new system. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact Niklas Johansson, central travel coordinator using the contact details below.
