New regulations on reporting payment statistics
News The Riksbank has decided on new regulations on reporting payment statistics. The regulations cover payment service providers and payment system operators and will enter into force on 1 October 2026.
According to the Sveriges Riksbank Act, the Riksbank shall monitor developments on the payment market and contribute to the general public being able to make payments, both in normal times and in crisis situations and a state of heightened alert.
The payments market is undergoing rapid transformation, in terms of payment infrastructure, new entrants and new payment services. The regulations aim to improve the Riksbank's basis for analysis and enable the Riksbank to continuously monitor developments on the payment market.
The regulations apply to payment service providers and payment system operators domiciled in Sweden and to foreign payment service providers with a branch in Sweden. The regulations will enter into force and begin to apply on 1 October 2026, with the exception of the reporting of credit transfers, which will apply from 1 October 2027.
