Maersk announces USD bank account changes in Nordic markets

Maersk has announced new USD banking arrangements for several business units and ocean shipment operations across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

The company has opened new accounts with Citibank to streamline its banking operations. Moreover, the change aims to improve payment processing and minimise potential service delays.

The new account details will appear on invoices issued from 24 August 2026.

New Maersk USD bank accounts

All six accounts use the BIC/SWIFT code CITIGB2L.

Customer payment arrangements

Customers should update their records and use the relevant new account for payments from 24 August 2026.

Maersk has also asked customers to share the information with their Accounts Payable and Vendor Master Data teams. This will help ensure that teams update the banking details before the next payment cycle.

The company has provided bank certificates to support updates to vendor and master data in customers’ ERP systems.

Transition from previous accounts

The previous USD accounts will remain available during the transition period. However, Maersk plans to close them by November 2026.

Therefore, the company has encouraged customers to move future USD payments to the relevant Citibank account as soon as possible. Maersk has also requested confirmation once customers have updated their records.

Separate accounts for some services in Sweden

Customers using both customs products and other Logistics & Services products in Sweden may need to use two different bank accounts. The applicable account will depend on the product involved.

Customers should check their billing and invoicing documents for the latest details if they are uncertain about which account to use.
