Cash in Swedish kronor before security at Terminal 1
Forex Bank sits landside in Terminal 1 at Malmö Airport, handy if you need cash before going through security. It’s the main dedicated currency counter here, so don’t expect a lot of competition on rates. You’ll see it in the small check-in hall, a short walk from the SAS and Ryanair desks.
Opening hours at Malmö can vary by season, but Forex Bank generally tracks daytime departures in Terminal 1, closing earlier on weekends when the last flights leave. You can change money both ways here: swap SEK for EUR before a trip to Germany, or trade leftover GBP back to kronor after a UK run.
Rates at airport Forex branches across Sweden usually run a bit worse than in-city locations, and Malmö is no exception, so this is more for last‑minute needs than bulk exchanges. The counter handles common currencies like EUR, USD, GBP and DKK without pre‑ordering; anything more exotic often needs advance booking via the main Forex system.
Card payments are accepted for currency purchases, but remember your bank may add its own 1–3% foreign transaction fee if you’re charging in a non‑SEK currency. If you’re just after cash for a quick taxi into Malmö, compare the total cost against using an ATM in Terminal 1’s arrivals area.
Tip: If your itinerary starts at MMX and you have time in town, use a Malmö city Forex branch for better rates and keep the airport counter as a backup for small top‑ups only.
