The regulations apply to Swedish clearing companies and branches of foreign clearing companies. The regulations supplement the requirements set forth in the Clearing and Settlement of Payments Act (2024:114) that enters into force on 1July 2024. This act places requirements on a clearing company's risk management, information, IT and cyber security, preparedness, capital, governance and outsourcing agreements. The aim is to adapt the requirements on clearing business to the digitalisation and international developments as well as to increase resilience in the payment system.
