EBA Consultation Paper on draft Regulatory Technical Standards on reclassification of investment firms as credit institutions
The European Banking Authority launched a Consultation Paper on draft Regulatory Technical Standards regarding the reclassification of investment firms as credit institutions. The draft standards define the methodology for calculating total assets at solo and group levels against the EUR 30 billion threshold, establish reporting requirements for monitoring this threshold, and outline factors for assessing waiver requests from credit institution authorization. Investment firms with total assets exceeding EUR 30 billion are generally required to obtain credit institution authorization under Article 8(a) of the Capital Requirements Directive framework. Stakeholders are invited to submit comments to the EBA by 25 November 2026 and may register for a virtual public hearing on 30 September 2026.
