Circular
Triq l-Imdina, Zone 1 Central Business District, Birkirkara CBD 1010 +356 2144 1155 communications@mfsa.mt www.mfsa.mt MFSA-RESTRICTED Circular to Credit Institutions and Other Entities on the Closure of the Banking Offsite Mailbox Reference is made to the Circular on the Repeal of Banking Rule BR/06 and the Streamlining of Data Submissions, issued by the Authority, in coordination with the Central Bank of Malta (CBM), on 19 December 2025. As communicated in the aforementioned Circular, the Authority, together with the CBM has streamlined the collection and reporting processes of the Statutory Financial Information to be submitted by Credit Institutions under the national statutory framework of Malta (CBM￾CIR). Following these changes, the Authority wishes to inform supervised entities subject to these reporting requirements that the mailbox bankingoffsite@mfsa.mt will be permanently decommissioned. The primary purpose of this mailbox was to receive Banking Rule BR/06 submissions and related correspondence. Since the reporting requirements under BR/06 were repealed and the relevant data is now received directly through established reporting channels, the continued use of this mailbox is no longer necessary. Its closure will simplify communication channels, reduce the risk of misdirected submissions, and ensure that queries and reporting matters are directed through the appropriate channels. The mailbox will be closed with effect from Wednesday, 14 October 2026. For any further clarification regarding this Circular, entities may contact the Authority on BankingData@mfsa.mt. 9 October 2026
