Strange that AB didn’t write a line about Botkyrka’s Social Democrats being taken over by gang criminals…

If I don’t want to open an account in Swedbank, will I still get the money?
Nathalie Thor
You do not need to open an account with Swedbank, just register your bank account (regardless of which bank you have), to receive the electricity subsidy.
If you do not want to register your account, and do not receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority, you will receive a payment notice sent home.
Is it true? Noticed that an account with the pension authority is ok?
Claes
That’s right, if you have an account with the Pension Authorities, the electricity subsidy is paid out in connection with the pension.
“You who receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority do not have to do anything, you receive the money into your account as you usually receive your pension,” Swedbank writes on its website.
Yes, so I’m going to register in Swedbank’s account register for electricity support, but how do I do it then?
