Latvijas Banka moves non-resident reporting access onto its own accounts
From 20 November, non-residents without a usable eID means get access through an account Latvijas Banka registers itself, with two-factor authentication; personal codes leave the administrator forms.

Supervised institutions and other reporting parties that authenticate staff to Latvijas Banka's systems face new access and form rules. Latvijas Bankas noteikumi Nr. 430, adopted on 9 November 2026, amend the electronic information-exchange rules (noteikumi Nr. 226): the changes apply from 20 November 2026, except for the parts of the restated legal basis that cite payment-account fee-information rules and consumer-credit provisions, which take effect on 1 January 2027Likumi.
The central change is a new access route for non-residents.Likumi Under the restated point 22.15, where a person is a non-resident and cannot use the notified cross-border electronic identification means in point 22.14, authentication runs through an account that Latvijas Banka itself has registered and authenticated in its own information-technology infrastructure
Likumi, and two-factor authentication is mandatory for such an account. The prior wording placed the equivalent account in the information-exchange subject's own infrastructure and additionally required a secure linkage between Latvijas Banka's and the subject's infrastructures. The existing identification means are unchanged: the personal identity card, other qualified electronic identification means, bank-issued strong authentication, and notified cross-border means in points 22.11–22.14.
Point 135 is restated so that users of the electronic reporting system authenticate on its website (https://stat.bank.lv) with the means in points 22.11–22.15 — a set that now includes the new Latvijas Banka-registered accountLikumi. The earlier text separately allowed a statistical data provider that is not a financial market participant to authenticate its users with a user identifier and password where an electronic identification means could not be used for justified reasons; that fallback no longer appears in the restated point.
The administrator forms lose the personal code. In Annex 2 (the administrator registration application) and Annex 3 (the administrator cancellation notice) the words "personas kods" are deletedLikumi, so the forms identify the administrator by name, email address and mobile telephone number without the Latvian personal code.
The legal basis of the rules is restated across the supervised sectors' authorising provisions, adding references that include Maksājumu pakalpojumu un elektroniskās naudas likuma 46.1 panta otrā daļa, on Cabinet rules for fee-information reporting, and Patērētāju tiesību aizsardzības likuma 8. panta 1.3 daļa and 8.2 panta trešā daļa. That slice of the legal basis takes effect on 1 January 2027Vestnesis; the remainder of the amendments takes effect on 20 November 2026
Likumi.
Legal basis: Latvijas Bankas noteikumi Nr. 430 of 9 November 2026 amending Latvijas Bankas 2022. gada 24. oktobra noteikumus Nr. 226 "Noteikumi par elektronisko informācijas apmaiņu ar Latvijas Banku", with the general entry into force on 20 November 2026 and the fee-information and consumer-credit references effective on 1 January 2027.
If your institution files through Latvijas Banka systems with non-resident staff, arrange their Latvijas Banka-registered accounts with two-factor authentication before 20 November and update internal procedures that still collect personas kods on the administrator forms.
