The Bank of Latvia changes the cash services fee schedule with regulations No. 424

The Bank of Latvia has issued Regulations No. 424, which amend its Regulations No. 236 of December 19, 2022, “Bank of Latvia Payment Services Price List for Cash Services”. The notice of the amendments was published in the official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis on September 17, 2026, in issue No. 179, with the official reference OP 2026/179. In the content of the issue, the entry regarding the regulations is included as item 3 in the “INSTITUTIONS” section, under the institution Bank of Latvia.

The amendments relate to the Bank of Latvia’s payment services price list for cash services — a document that determines the prices of cash services provided by the central bank. Regulations No. 424 modify the existing regulatory framework of Regulations No. 236 of December 19, 2022, rather than issuing a completely new price list. Since the changes affect cash circulation, they are significant for both credit institutions and merchants who work with cash on a daily basis.
