For credit institutions subject to the deposit requirement
On 10 June 2025, the Riksbank decided that all Swedish credit institutions and branches of foreign credit institutions shall hold interest-free deposits (the deposit requirement) on account with the Riksbank. The interest-free deposit shall be held by the Riksbank until the Riksbank decides otherwise. On 16 June, the Riksbank sent a decision for your institution's deposit requirement for 2025.
Deposit by 31 October 2025
It will soon be time to deposit the amount that your institution will hold in interest-free deposits with the Riksbank. The amount to be deposited is specified in the decision sent to you in June. The deposit can be made from 15 October 2025, but must be received by the Riksbank no later than 17:00 on 31 October 2025. In the event of late payment, you may be charged a financial penalty.
Depositing instructions
If you are subject to the Riksbank’s deposit requirement, a special account has been opened for you at the Riksbank. Your account number can be found in the decision for your institution’s deposit requirement. You must deposit the amount that the Riksbank has decided is your deposit requirement in the specified account at the Riksbank. Depending on whether you are a RIX participant or not, deposits can be made in different ways. For further instructions click here: [How to make the deposit].
Financial penalty
If you do not deposit the funds required into your account at the Riksbank by 31 October 2025, the Riksbank may charge a financial penalty. The financial penalty is an amount equal to the policy rate plus two percentage points of the deposit requirement for each day of the deficit. However, the penalty fee may be reduced in whole or in part if there are special reasons for doing so.
