Swish was launched in December 2012 and quickly became a success in Sweden.
With the service, you can easily and conveniently make payments by phone. The only thing required is that you have the person’s number and verify yourself with Mobilt BankID.
Today, roughly 8 million people use Swish, and over a billion payments have been made in total.

Fake Swish app warning – how to recognize it
Such a popular payment service will unfortunately inevitably be exploited by criminals.
For example, a fake Swish app that is identical to the original, but lacks the functionality of making real transactions, has recently been rampant.
It is used to make fake payments at restaurants or stores that allow Swish as a payment method.
To recognize the app, companies and organizations can download the Swish Företag app, which enables them to keep track of payments in real time. Then, in the same way as private individuals, you can ensure that promised payments actually come in, something News24 previously reported on.
