About us

To Media

The FIN-FSA makes available information on the supervised entities’ financial position and regulatory changes, on a regular basis. We are also tasked with the duty of increasing general awareness of the financial markets, of any topical issues of relevance to the public and of new products and services launched on the market.

We publish annually more than 20 press releases and arrange 2–3 press conferences. In addition, our experts publish blogs on matters of topical interest and advertise them on our X account Twitter.com/FIN_FSA. We communicate directly with our supervised entities through supervision releases.

Our Market Newsletter addresses, for example, insider issues concerning listed companies and issues related to disclosure requirements and prospectus supervision.

    Capital position of Finnish financial sector is strong – many uncertainties remain in operating environment Despite expectations, the Finnish economy has not picked up, although business confidence, among other things, has continued to rise. In addition to economic apathy, the financial sector's operating environment is threatened by the weak state of public finances, geopolitical risks, and concerns about the sustainability of securities prices. The capital position of the Finnish banking sector remained strong in the third quarter, however, even though a decline in net interest income weakened the financial result. The solvency of the employee pension and insurance sectors also remained strong as investment returns improved; despite the risks, market sentiment remained predominantly positive.

    FIN-FSA recommends measures for banks to take to improve online payment security – EU’s Instant Payments Regulation speeds up payments but also increases risks The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) recommends to banks operating in Finland several measures for improving the security of online payments, covering matters such as security limits and fraud monitoring. The recommendations are based on the results of a FIN-FSA follow-up assessment conducted in spring 2025, in which it examined, among other things, the controls and processes for online payment security in credit institutions. The EU’s Instant Payments Regulation (IPR) enters into force today, 9 October 2025, speeding up payment transactions in the euro area and improving security through payee verification.
