Welcome to the EBA

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report comparing how banks test the implementation of their recovery plans through so-called “dry runs”. In a context of heightened uncertainty and the continued need for operational preparedness and resilience to unexpected stress events, the analysis confirms that dry runs are an effective tool to strengthen the operationalisation of recovery plans and enhance institutions’ crisis readiness. When used meaningfully, dry runs improve institutions’ ability to respond to stress situations in a timely and credible manner.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Decision harmonising how National Competent Authorities (NCAs) report under the SEPA Regulation. The Decision complements the existing European Commission’s Implementing Regulation which requires all Payment Service Providers (PSPs) to report data on charges for credit transfers and payment accounts, as well as the shares of transactions rejected due to EU sanctions. The Decision streamlines the second step of this reporting process – from the NCAs to the EBA and the European Commission.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is announcing a series of measures to significantly simplify EU supervisory reporting. A public consultation on revised Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting and on supervisory benchmarking reporting is open until 10 July 2026, and until 10 May 2026 for IFRS 18-related requirements.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a public consultation on revised Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking entities carrying out banking activities outside a regulated framework. The revised Guidelines aim to align with the updated EU large-exposure reporting framework and to support sound risk management and governance practices across institutions.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today announced that it will begin publishing, on a regular basis, a list of known issues related to the data point model (DPM) framework. The list will include information on available workarounds and indicative timelines for resolution. This initiative is intended to improve transparency and to support reporting institutions by providing a single reference point for recurring technical questions.
