The National Bank of Slovakia’s Bank Board approved a decision setting the annual and special contributions payable in 2026 by supervised financial market participants and adopted an amendment to the rules of the Slovak Interbank Payment System (SIPS) delaying the effective date for connecting payment institutions and electronic money institutions to 6 October 2025. The Board also took note of a regulatory burden reduction document titled “Reducing regulatory burden (RULE 25)” and approved notifications for the issuance of two collector coins: a EUR 20 silver coin featuring the Dunajské luhy Protected Landscape Area and a EUR 5 base metal coin in the “Fauna and flora in Slovakia” series depicting the Danube salmon. The contribution and SIPS decisions will be published in the Official Journal of the National Bank of Slovakia and on the central bank’s website, while both collector coins are scheduled to go on sale in September 2025.
