BORAS, Sweden, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has given TF Bank permission to use the Alternative Standardised Approach to calculate the capital requirement for operational risk.

The approval has strengthened TF Bank's capital situation.

TF Bank is changing its method for calculating operational risk from the Standardised Approach to the Alternative Standardised Approach.
