The Joint Bank Reporting Committee launches call to join the Reporting Contact Group

The Joint Bank Reporting Committee (JBRC), jointly set up by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Central Bank (ECB), today launched a public call for expressions of interest to join its Reporting Contact Group (RCG). The RCG brings together stakeholders with expertise in banks’ regulatory reporting and serves as a regular forum for cooperation, exchange of views and sharing of best practices with authorities. The call is open to candidates representing stakeholders across the European Economic Area (EEA). The deadline for applications is 28 April 2026 (23:59 CEST).

Application process

Applications must be submitted via the online application form (password: RCGApril2026) and include a CV (preferably in Europass format).

Selection process and next steps

Further details on the selection process are provided in the Call for candidates document.

The JBRC will decide on the final composition of the RCG, aiming, to the extent possible, to ensure, diversity of the banking sector, geographical and gender balance and broad representation of stakeholders across the EEA.

Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application. The final composition of the RCG will be published on the EBA and ECB websites. A reserve list will also be established.

For further information, please contact the RCG Secretariat at ecb-jbrc@ecb.europa.eu and eba-jbrc@eba.europa.eu

Background information

The JBRC was established by the EBA and the ECB under a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 18 March 2024, following a feasibility study conducted by the EBA in accordance with Article 430c(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. The JBRC promotes cooperation among European institutions and authorities involved in supervisory, resolution and statistical banking reporting and facilitates transparent engagement with stakeholders to support the development of an integrated reporting system.

The RCG is a permanent substructure of the JBRC, composed of up to 22 members appointed for a three-year renewable mandate. Members are expected to dedicate at least one full day per week to RCG activities and to have strong expertise in supervisory, resolution and/or statistical reporting, or in related areas such as data modelling and standardisation. The mandate of the current RCG composition expires at the end of 2027.
