Finance Sweden represents banks and financial institutions established in Sweden. Our aim is to contribute to a sound and efficient regulatory framework that facilitates for banks to help create economic wealth for customers and society.
Finance Sweden annually publishes detailed statistics on the Swedish banking and financial market.
The statistics are unique and include information about most banks in Sweden and long time series for, among other things, the number of banks, the number of bank branches, and the number of employees in the banks.
Additionally, the publication includs the development from the mid-1990s for the fees that banks pay to the various stability funds.
The banks’ security organisations conduct an annual industry-wide threat identification and assessment in areas such as robberies, violence against staff, fraud and cyber security.

The European Commission has presented its competitiveness compass, which provides a framework for the Commission's work with both vertical and horizontal tools. An important part of this compass that Finance Sweden would like to highlight is simplification, which is aimed at reducing the regulatory and administrative burden on companies.
At the beginning of the year, the Swedish Bankers’ Association changed its international name to Finance Sweden. This name change will also involve updates to the logo, website address, email addresses, and more. In Sweden, we will continue to use the name Svenska Bankföreningen.
