For reporting agents
The Riksbank will collect payments statistics from payment service providers and payment system operators on an ongoing basis starting on 1 October 2026. Test reporting will be possible starting in January 2026. On this page, the Riksbank will publish information on the reporting of payments statistics.
About the reporting
Payments statistics are divided into two parts: payments statistics collected from payment service providers and payments statistics collected from payment system operators.
Who shall report payments statistics?
Payment service providers and payment system operators domiciled in Sweden shall report statistics to the Riksbank. It also applies to foreign payment service providers with a branch in Sweden. If a payment service provider or payment system operator has activities abroad, statistics should only be reported for payments that take place directly cross-border and not via branches or subsidiaries abroad. Payment service providers that only provide account information services do not need to report statistics.
You can read more in the Riksbank's regulations on reporting payment statistics 2025:1.
How shall payments statistics be reported?
The content of the reporting is described in the document "Instructions for reporting payments statistics". Reporting is done via the Riksbank's API portal. For authentication and access to the portal, see the document "API Authentication". The Riksbank plans for test reporting to start in January 2026. It is therefore not currently possible to access the API. More information on the test reporting will be available in the autumn.
The table below specifies the dates that apply for the first reporting to the Riksbank.
