EBA consultation on draft Regulatory and Implementing Technical Standards for prudentially material transactions under CRD (Directive 2023/36/EU), covering assessment criteria, notification processes, and cooperation between authorities for acquisitions, asset transfers, mergers, and divisions.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a public consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) concerning material acquisitions, material transfers of assets or liabilities, and mergers and divisions involving credit institutions or (mixed) financial holding companies under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). The standards are designed to support banking consolidation and deepen EU market integration by clarifying supervisory expectations, reducing regulatory uncertainty and ensuring consistent prudential assessment across the EU. The consultation runs until 5 March 2026.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a follow-up to the 2023 Peer Review Report assessing progress in the authorisation of payment institutions and electronic money institutions under the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2). While notable improvements and increased convergence have been observed, significant differences persist in key areas such as governance, internal control mechanisms, and local substance. These divergent implementations continue to pose risks of regulatory arbitrage and an uneven playing field across Member States.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today released its Autumn 2025 risk assessment Report (RAR), confirming that EU/EEA banks remain strong in capital, liquidity, profitability and asset quality.

The Report is published alongside the 2025 EU-wide transparency exercise, providing detailed and comparable data for 119 banks across 25 countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), and is supplemented by the Autumn 2025 Risk Assessment Questionnaire (RAQ).
