Payment preparedness

The Riksbank works to ensure that payments can be made in all situations. This means, for example, that households and companies should always be able to make essential payments – such as salary payments, paying bills and buying essential goods and services. The general public plays an important role in payment preparedness by having access to multiple payment methods.
