The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a roadmap outlining how it will deliver its mandates under the revised Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD3). The roadmap sets out the EBA’s role in implementing DGSD3 by developing a set of regulatory products to strengthen depositor protection across the EU.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) amending the Pillar 3 disclosure framework on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, and introducing disclosure requirements on equity and shadow banking exposures. The package finalises the implementation of the disclosure requirements introduced by the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR 3). Developed in line with the EU’s simplification agenda and the Omnibus package, the ITS streamline existing requirements, and enhance usability and consistency. The ITS are aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and with the EBA draft ITS on ESG reporting requirements, which are currently under consultation. They should, therefore, be read in conjunction with this Consultation paper to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the overall ESG framework and to support informed feedback.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on reporting of data on charges for credit transfers and payments accounts, and shares of rejected transactions.

The reported data will help to ensure consumers benefit from access to instant credit transfers, and that the latter are no longer more expensive than regular credit transfers. Following its public consultation, the EBA has postponed the first harmonised reporting from PSPs by 12 months, from April 2025 to April 2026.

Key changes include a substantial reduction in data requirements, the alignment of information with harmonised supervisory reporting, and the integration of climate risks into the EU-wide stress test. A total of 63 banks from the EU and Norway, including 47 from the euro area, will participate, covering 75% of the EU banking sector. The industry consultation is being launched at an earlier stage than for previous EBA stress tests, to facilitate banks’ preparedness.
