On June 26, 2026, Finansinspektionen (FI), Sweden's financial supervisory authority, announced major changes to its annual anti-money laundering (AML) reporting requirements. FI is updating the periodic AML reporting framework with a new set of questions that will replace the current reporting questionnaire. The updated reporting requirements will apply to all obliged entities subject to the Swedish Money Laundering Act and under FI's supervision. This includes banks, insurance companies, payment service providers, and other financial institutions operating in Sweden's financial markets. The changes represent a significant revision to FI's AML compliance monitoring framework, reflecting evolving regulatory expectations and supervisory priorities in combating money laundering and terrorism financing risks. All affected obliged entities must complete the revised annual AML report using the new questions. The changes will enter into force on January 1, 2027, providing entities with a transition period to familiarize themselves with the updated reporting framework and adjust their compliance procedures accordingly. Obliged entities should begin preparing for these changes immediately to ensure timely and accurate submission of reports under the new requirements when the effective date arrives.
