Sweden’s central bank, the Riksbank, wants banks to help create instant payments between different currencies in Europe. The plan is part of a project with the European Central Bank (ECB) and Denmark’s central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank.
Together, they are working to connect euros, Swedish kronor, and Danish kroner through the Target Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) system.
Swedish Banks Invited To Shape The Future Of Cross-Currency Payments
The Riksbank asked Swedish banks to join this project. Banks can help plan how the system will work and test it. This is important because it can make paying between countries much faster and easier.
Per Jansson, the Riksbank’s deputy governor, said the Riksbank has worked a long time to make payments between currencies easier.
The G20 also wants payments between currencies to be safer, cheaper, and easier. Central banks and businesses must work together to reach these goals.
In the future, more money types might join the system. Norway’s central bank, Norges Bank, wants to connect Norwegian money to TIPS by 2028. TIPS might also connect with other systems outside Europe, making payments faster around the world.
To join this project, Swedish banks must show interest by signing a Letter of Intent. The Riksbank has set a deadline for this on 28 February 2025.
Swedish Banks Encouraged To Advance Instant Payments Across Europe
TIPS is a system that helps move money very fast, even between countries. It is part of the European Central Bank’s tools to make payments better in Europe. The ECB helps manage the euro and the European Union’s money.
The Riksbank is Sweden’s oldest bank. It started in 1668 and has helped Sweden’s money for over 350 years. The name “Riksbank” comes from the Swedish word “rike,” which means country.

The Riksbank’s job is to “keep prices steady” by making sure inflation stays low and stable. It also helps keep the payments system safe and easy and takes care of Sweden’s money, like coins and notes. It’s the only one that can make coins and notes.
Sweden’s central bank is led by a Board with six members. The General Council picks them, and the General Council is chosen by the Riksdag.
