Submit documents and information

Digital format

Normally, Finansinspektionen prefers to receive documents and information in a digital format.

When you send us documents, email them to finansinspektionen@fi.se.

During holiday periods, it is important that documents are not sent directly to an administrator but rather to the above email address.

Only one copy of the documents is needed unless otherwise stated on our website or in the applicable regulations. A document that has been sent to us electronically does not need to be sent again 0n paper. When a document refers to an ongoing matter, please state the reference number in the subject line of the email.

If large files are submitted as a zipped file via email, on a USB stick, or on a CD, the files must be saved in a structure that is as uncomplicated and flat as possible. Avoid folders with subfolders. The files also need to have clear names.

Approved formats:

• Text: pdf/pdf/A (first preference), doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt or pptx
• Image/video: gif, tiff, jpeg, jpg, bmp or MP4
• Sound: MP3.

Emails may not exceed a limit of 20 MB.

If you need to send us an email with sensitive content, we would prefer that you encrypt the email and attachments rather than sending a file that is password-protected. Encrypting the information is more secure.
