Operational disruptions in the RIX system

There are currently operational disruptions in the Riksbank’s payment system (RIX). The Riksbank has therefore transferred to emergency procedures for payments in RIX. This involves some extra work for the banks and in the Riksbank, since more procedures must be carried out manually. This also entails delays in payments between banks, which might result in consequences for customers to the banks.

 

Operational disruptions in the RIX system are very rare. In parallel with the transition to manual procedures the Riksbank is working to find the fault. The work on remedying the fault has high prioriity. The Riksbank is cooperating with the commercial banks and other interested parties in order to ensure a return to normal routines as quickly as possible.
