Different ways to pay the rent
There are several different ways to pay rent, and you can choose the method that suits you best. We encourage you to make an environmentally conscious choice and opt out of receiving paper invoices, which would otherwise arrive in your mailbox. Instead, you can choose to pay via direct debit (autogiro), e-invoice, or through the digital mailbox service called Kivra.
Direct debit
Direct debit is by far the easiest rent payment option, since the money is automatically transferred from your bank account on the same day as the rent is due for payment. Smooth and easy. You just need to make sure there is money in your account when the rent is deducted.
If you have a PlusGirot account, Swedbank, Nordea, Handelsbanken, SEB, Länsförsäkringar Bank, ICA-banken or Skandiabanken, you can request a direct debit for your rent to Skebo.
E-invoice
E-invoice means that you get the rental invoice sent as an electronic invoice to your internet bank. All payment information is filled in already, such as the long OCR number and due date, and all you need to do is approve the payment. You can view the invoice specification before accepting the invoice.
You apply for e-invoicing via your internet bank. In your internet bank, you can see which companies offer e-invoices. Both Skelleftebostäder AB and Skebo Parkering AB offer e-invoicing. Please note that if you live in an area where you rent a parking space through our parking company Skebo Parkering, application for a parking space needs to be made here.
Keep in mind that the holder of the apartment contract and the internet banking account must be the same person. To ensure that the next rent invoice is sent via e-invoice, you must register for this no later than the 8th of the month.
Kivra
If you want to receive and pay your invoices through the digital mailbox service Kivra, you’ll need to have or create an account on www.kivra.se. Once you’re connected, your next rent invoice will automatically be delivered to Kivra.
Being able to receive and pay your rent invoice digitally makes everyday life easier. It provides tenants with better visibility of their invoices and reduces paper mail, which is beneficial for the environment. Additionally, Kivra is a user-friendly and secure solution.
Getting Kivra is free and takes just a few minutes. When we send out rent invoices, you’ll receive an email notifying you of a new digital rent invoice to pay. To make the payment, connect your bank account, click “Pay,” and authenticate using BankID.
If you’re currently using e-invoicing or have chosen direct debit (autogiro) as your payment method and would like to receive your rent invoice via Kivra instead, you’ll need to first cancel e-invoicing or direct debit. Existing Kivra customers will automatically receive their rent invoices there. If you haven’t connected to Kivra, you’ll continue receiving your rent invoice as before. If you’re connected to Kivra but prefer not to receive your invoice there, you can log in to Kivra and adjust your settings. Contact Kivra if you need assistance.

Payment via the internet, mail or bank
If you pay your rent online, it is important that you enter our PlusGiro number 486 00 00-1 and the OCR number on the invoice. This allows us to identify that the payment comes from you and what month the rent relates to. Note that each monthly invoice has its own specific OCR number.
If you pay the rent by mail or bank, you use the payment slip that came with your rental invoice. If you lose it and instead write your own payment slip, it is important that you write your name, address, and contract number. You must also state that the recipient is Skelleftebostäder and our PlusGiro number 486 00 00-1 (alternatively Bankgiro number 417-9891).
Haven't received your rental invoice
If you log in to My Account and click the My Rental Invoices tab, you can view and print your most recent rental invoices. Here you will find, among other things, payment amounts and OCR numbers. You can also view the history of the last 12 months.
Payment from abroad
When making payments from abroad, you must enter your personal identity number or organisation number and:
- IBAN: SE82 9500 0099 6034 0062 4148
- BIC/Swift code: NDEASESS
- Bank: Nordea
- Recipient: Skelleftebostäder AB
It is important to pay the rent on time
As a tenant at Skebo, you pay your rent monthly and in advance. The due date is the last working day before the start of each month. For example, the rent is paid for February at the end of January.
You will receive your rental invoice a week before the due date. Please note that you are obliged to pay your rent regardless of whether or not you have received the rental invoice. If, for some reason, the invoice has not have arrived or you can’t find it when it is time to pay the rent, you can log in to My Account to view your rental invoice, OCR number, etc., or you can contact us and we will send you a new one.
In order to avoid defaulting on your payment, debt collection costs, and interest on late payment, it is important that the rent is paid on time. If you do not pay your rent at all or are repeatedly late with the payment, you may risk losing your home.
We work with Intrum Justitia, which handles our claims management, and we therefore do not send out payment reminders. Tenants who have not paid their rent on time receive a debt collection claim from Intrum Justitia, which also includes collection costs and interest. If, for some reason, you cannot pay your rent on time, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible. Once your case ends up with Intrum, they handle all contact regarding the debt incurred.
