On June 8, 2026, the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) issued Decision No. 7/2026 determining annual contributions and special levies payable by supervised financial market entities for 2027. The decision was published in the NBS Gazette on June 23, 2026. Annual contributions are mandatory payments owed by all supervised financial market entities that hold authorization or other permission to conduct financial market activities. These include banks, insurance companies, investment firms, payment institutions, crypto-asset service providers, loan servicers, and various other financial intermediaries. The contribution amounts are calculated based on asset volumes, with tiered percentage rates applied to different asset brackets. For example, banks with assets up to EUR 5,000,000 pay a minimum of EUR 1,000, while those with assets exceeding EUR 20,000,000 pay EUR 2,996,880 plus 0.0113 percent of assets above that threshold. Insurance companies, pension fund administrators, investment management companies, and other entity types have separate contribution schedules with varying rates. Special levies are imposed on supervised entities for each final administrative decision issued by the NBS in 2026 finding violations of consumer financial protection requirements. These levies are calculated as one percent of the entity's annual contribution, with minimum amounts of EUR 1,000 or EUR 50 depending on contribution calculation method, capped annually at five percent of the annual contribution. Contributions are payable in quarterly installments or as lump sums depending on amount, with payment deadlines beginning January 20, 2027. The NBS will issue individual notifications to each supervised entity detailing calculated amounts. Entities must remit payments to the NBS account with specific payment symbols corresponding to their entity type. The decision becomes effective January 1, 2027, and supersedes the previous 2026 contribution decision.
