The payment statistics

In Danmarks Nationalbank, we have two different payment statistics, namely a quarterly and a daily one. The two statistics each provide their own insight into the Danish payment market. Read here about reports to the two payment statistics.

The quarterly payment statistics

Reporting deadlines

Reports for payment statistics are submitted quarterly for banks, Nets, Mastercard and the other reporters. The reports must be submitted no later than 13:00 on the 10th business day after the end of the relevant reporting quarter. In other words, by the 10th business day in January, April, July and October.

Reporting guidelines

The reporting guidelines lay down and describe the terms and conditions and requirements for the collection of statistical information by Danmarks Nationalbank, including:

  • The legal basis for collecting the statistics
  • Enterprises with reporting obligations
  • Frequencies and deadlines
  • Content and structure of the reporting
    • Information to be reported (delimitation)
    • Compilation and valuation principles
    • Details (instruments, sectors, industries, maturities, currencies etc.)
    • Descriptions of the individual reporting forms
  • Replacement reports in the event of errors and/or omissions
  • Code lists for various details, e.g. country and currency codes.

The reporting guidelines are revised as required. The reporting institutions and relevant trade associations are normally involved in the work. This ensures that everyone involved understands the changes.
