Regulations regarding clearing and settlement of payments

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority issued these regulations to supplement the Clearing and Settlement of Payments Act, applying to Swedish and foreign clearing company branches. The rules mandate enhanced requirements for risk management, IT security, capital, and governance to adapt to digitalization and increase payment system resilience. Amendments aligning the clearing regulations with existing financial institution standards enter into force on 17 January 2025.
