Swish a donation

Here you can quickly and easily send a donation to PALEMA. Just click on the amount you want, scan the QR code with your Swish app and pay. Done!

If you want to pay a different amount than those listed, just change the amount directly in the Swish app before you pay. If you want to pay by card or invoice instead of by swish – click on “Other payment method” and find out how.

ATTENTION! This swish number may not be used for commemorative gifts, payment of membership fees, purchases in the webshop or for anything else other than “simple” gifts. The other functions have their own payment systems and then the payments will be misplaced and not noticed, which can lead to unnecessary payment reminders, non-payment of gifts, etc.
