EBA report under Article 21C of CRD6 assessing exemptions for third-country banks providing services to EU financial entities without establishing branches, analysing supervisory data, market trends, and regulatory implications as of 2023/Q4.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report on the direct provision of banking services from third countries. The quantitative and qualitative analysis performed didn’t provide evidence to recommend the amendment of the new Article 21c of the Capital Requirement Directive (CRD) which identifies how core banking services should be provided in a Member State. However, the EBA suggests a clarification of the interaction between Article 21c of the CRD and other sectorial legislations could be beneficial to authorities and market participants.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched three public consultations on Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Guidelines (GL) on third-country branches under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) concerning booking arrangements, capital endowment and supervisory colleges. These regulatory products aim at ensuring a harmonised and consistent implementation of the new EU framework for third-country branches, enhancing comparability across Member States, and fostering effective supervisory cooperation. The three consultations run until 10 October 2025.
EBA consults on draft Regulatory Technical Standards for supervisory cooperation and colleges of supervisors overseeing third-country bank branches under Directive 2013/36/EU, outlining requirements for coordination, information exchange, and risk assessment.
EBA consults on draft Regulatory Technical Standards outlining booking arrangements for third-country bank branches under Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV), addressing risk management and regulatory compliance requirements.
EBA consults on draft guidelines specifying capital instruments third-country bank branches must hold for immediate risk coverage under Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV), outlining requirements for unrestricted use to cover losses.
