TITLE: Sweden's Parliament Passes Legislation Securing Cash Services Provision by Banks BODY: On May 27, 2026, Sweden's parliament approved legislation proposed by the cash inquiry (kontantutredningen) to ensure cash continues to function as a payment method in Sweden. The Swedish Bankers Association (Svenska Bankföreningen) and its member banks support the new law. The legislation requires banks to maintain cash services for both individuals and businesses in normal circumstances and during crises, including the handling of daily and exchange cash registers. Although cash usage continues to decline from already low levels, banks must ensure these services meet customer needs under all conditions. The law aims to secure payment functionality across all scenarios, reflecting Sweden's commitment to maintaining cash as a viable payment option despite the country's advanced digital payment infrastructure. Hans Lindberg, chief executive of the Swedish Bankers Association, said it is important that banks continue to meet customer needs for cash services and ensure payments function under all circumstances. Concurrently, banks are strengthening the resilience and robustness of the entire payment system. Banks have participated in a Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) project to enable offline card payments when necessary, supporting emergency preparedness and payment continuity. The legislative changes are expected to enter into force on July 1, 2026. The Swedish Bankers Association and its member banks have closely monitored the legislative process and aim to comply with the law's requirements as soon as possible.
