Finansinspektionen, often known as FI, is Sweden’s financial supervisory authority. It works to promote a stable, well-functioning financial system, strong consumer protection and sustainable development. Its oversight covers key areas of the financial market, including banking, payments, insurance and securities markets. FI monitors financial companies, investigates whether they comply with applicable rules and can issue remarks or financial penalties when violations are identified. It also analyses emerging risks, such as cyber threats linked to advanced artificial intelligence, money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

FI provides information and services for consumers, financial businesses and other stakeholders. Its website offers access to company and other registers, warnings about suspected fraudulent firms, regulatory provisions, and information on applications and reporting. The authority also publishes investigations, market updates, risk assessments and consumer guidance, including advice on comparing fund fees and avoiding impersonation scams. Through public forums, events and other communications, FI explains developments in financial supervision and its priorities.
