When a deposit company or a financial institution receives knowledge that anyone with a qualifying holding in the company has changed, FI should be immediately informed. Likewise, a legal person who has a qualifying holding in the firm shall immediately report managerial changes to FI. Qualifying holding here refers to a direct or indirect ownership in a firm, if the holding represents ten per cent or more of the capital or of all votes or otherwise enables a significant influence over the firm’s management.
 
FI makes a suitability assessment of the new owners and their senior management in light of, among things, information obtained from Rikspolisstyrelsen (the Swedish National Police Board), Upplysningscentralen UC AB (UC AB) and Skatteverket (the Swedish National Tax Board). For the assessment of foreign citizens, FI contacts the foreign supervisory authority. 

The notification shall contain:

  • who should be assessed 
  • which firm the acquisition refers to 
  • the size of the acquisition
  • direct or indirect ownership 
  •  from whom the acquisition was made
  • the background of the acquisition
  • any Group overview after the acquisition
 

Fee

A fee of SEK 6,500 shall be paid to FI in conjunction with the submitted application to Bankgiro account: 5050-6922. Please indicate on the payment advice what the payment is for.
 

Processing time

FI will send you a reply within 60 days provided that the application is complete and the fee is paid.
 

Other information

Swedish financial institutions that are legal persons and deposit companies shall submit information to FI on an annual basis, though no later than 30 June, regarding owners' qualifying holdings in accordance with FI's regulations (FFFS 2004:17, only available in Swedish).
