Regulations amending Finansinspektionen’s rules for institutions for electronic money and registered issuers (FFFS 2025:5)

Finansinspektionen has amended its regulatory framework for electronic money institutions and registered issuers to update authorization, outsourcing, safeguarding, and reporting requirements. The revised rules mandate one-month advance notifications for outsourcing agreements, service expansions, and material changes to fund safeguarding measures, while explicitly exempting DORA-covered outsourcing from these specific provisions. Institutions must now maintain written outsourcing contracts with strict risk monitoring and contingency clauses, invest safeguarded funds only in designated low-risk liquid assets, and promptly report material business plan updates, with the amendments taking effect on 1 July 2025.
