Authorisation

Companies offering financial services in Sweden require permits issued by Finansinspektionen. This applies to banks and other credit institutions, insurance companies, securities and fund management companies, stock exchanges, authorised marketplaces and clearing houses, among others. Financial companies within the EU can have cross-border activities with other EU countries but they should be reported and registered with us.
