Opening a bank account in Sweden without personal number (moving from Africa)

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would have a tip on how to open a bank account quickly without a personal identification number. I cannot afford to wait until I get my personal identification number to open an account, and I am afraid I would not be able to benefit from the advantages a EU citizen might have for this kind of thing (I am from Africa). I am going to pick up my residence card before trying to open the account though. If you know anything that would make the process simpler for me, please share
