The Riksbank has commissioned Statistics Sweden (SCB) to compile balance of payment statistics on its behalf since September 1, 2007. The SCB uses a survey-based system to collate balance of payments statistics. The SCB selects companies to complete forms to record their cross- border transactions. Cross-border current account transactions are recorded by the use of sample surveys. Financial account items are recorded by the use of both cut-off and sample surveys measuring, for example, direct investment level. Resident entities are permitted to hold fully convertible foreign currency bank accounts domestically and outside Sweden. Residents are also permitted to hold fully-convertible domestic currency (SEK) bank accounts outside Sweden. Non-resident entities are permitted to hold fully convertible domestic and foreign currency bank accounts within Sweden. Sweden has 89 registered banks. Of these, there are 40 limited liability banks, 47 savings banks and two co-operative banks. There is a significant foreign banking presence in Sweden – 38 foreign banks have a branch and 12 foreign banks have a representative office in Sweden. In addition, 538 foreign banks are authorized to offer cross-border banking services. Payments Sweden’s three main payment clearing systems are RIX, Bankgiro and Data Clearing. The most important cashless payment instruments in Sweden in terms of value are electronic credit transfers.

That corresponded to a staggering $36.9 trillion in funds transferred, which represents an 8.76% increase over the amount transferred in 2011. The increased adoption of ACH as a form of payment is not limited to the United States.

  • EUC SDD Position Paper
    PAYMENT SYSTEM END-USERS COMMITTEE (EUC) POSITION PAPER ON SEPA DIRECT DEBIT July 2009 Contents . About the EUC . Executive summary . Chapter One: Introduction . Chapter Two: Direct Debit in Europe . Chapter Three: Problem Areas . Chapter Four: Alternative solution . Conclusion . Annexes i. Annex 1: Requirements of CMF+ ii. Annex 2: Current direct debit schemes (list) iii. Annex 3 and 4: differences in existing DD schemes. iv. Annex 5: Extract from McKinsey Report . Tables 1 About the EUC The authors of this research paper represent the community of users of payment system instruments at the European level. In particular, they constitute the group of users who sit on the European Payments Council (EPC) stakeholder consultation forum. They will be referred to in this paper as the End Users Committee (EUC). A full list of the organizations represented by the authors is given below. In early 2009, the EUC considered that, despite a number of meetings with the EPC and individual meetings had by various members of the committee with the European Commission and the European Central Bank, there was still insufficient understanding and clarity on the part of these three bodies as to the needs and views of SEPA users on the proposed SEPA direct debit scheme. There was also insufficient understanding within the user community of the issues at stake. The EUC therefore proposed to research and compile an analysis of the major problems confronting the adoption of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), with specific focus on SEPA direct debit (SDD). To this end, the EUC appointed three experts who have written this paper, with the full collaboration of all members of the EUC who have endorsed it as fully representing their views.
