Building a stable banking sector across the EU

The EBA is an independent EU agency established in 2011 at the height of the financial crisis. Its objective is to contribute to financial stability across the EU and safeguard the integrity, efficiency and orderly functioning of the EU banking sector.

Its mission is to build a single regulatory and supervisory framework for the entire banking sector in the 28 EU Member States, so as to ensure an efficient, transparent and stable Single Market that is beneficial to consumers, businesses and the broader economy in the EU.
