Factsheet – The Regulation of Remuneration in Credit Institutions

The German Federal Bank (Bundesbank), BaFin, and the ECB regulate remuneration systems in credit institutions to prevent excessive risk-taking and financial instability. The framework distinguishes between general requirements for all institutes and stricter rules for significant institutions and risk-takers, mandating alignment with long-term sustainability and risk-adjusted performance. Key measures include a bonus cap, mandatory deferral of variable pay, clawback provisions, and specific restrictions for management, control functions, and sales staff.
