Registers and other list of institutions
EUCLID (the European Centralised Infrastructure for Supervisory Data) is the platform and data infrastructure developed and used by the EBA to gather and analyse regulatory data from a wide range of financial institutions. It covers supervisory, resolution, remuneration and payments data.
Besides regulatory data, EUCLID collects a coherent set of master data information to identify institutions. This is the core of the EBA’s public registers, namely the Credit Institutions Register (CIR) and the Payments Institutions register (PIR) under the Payments Service Directive (PSD2).
This section provides references to the registers and other lists of institutions that the EBA maintains on the basis of information collected through its regulatory activities.
