KFI reporting is how a branch of a foreign bank in Denmark sends Finanstilsynet its own quarterly accounts: income statement, balance sheet, lending by sector and industry, and a half-yearly credit-quality split. Finanstilsynet titles the return “regnskabsoplysninger for filialer af udenlandske pengeinstitutter” (accounting information for branches of foreign banks), and its August 2026 deadline list…
On 25 August 2026 the European Banking Authority opened a three-month consultation on the mechanics of investment firm reclassification into credit institutions. Meeting an Article 8a(1) threshold triggers an application for credit institution authorisation; it does not itself complete the reclassification, and Article 8a(2) CRD permits the undertaking to continue the relevant activities until authorisation…
On 3 August 2026 the CSSF published a dedicated material-operations webpage explaining the prior-notification and assessment framework for Luxembourg credit institutions and in-scope financial holding companies and mixed financial holding companies. The page follows the Law of 5 May 2026, which amended the Law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector to transpose CRD…
On 17 July 2026 the European Banking Authority published its final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (EBA/RTS/2026/06) and Implementing Technical Standards (EBA/ITS/2026/03) covering four operations that CRD VI brought under prudential supervision for the first time: material acquisitions, material transfers of assets or liabilities, mergers and divisions carried out by credit institutions and financial holding companies….
On 9 July 2026 the European Banking Authority published the final technical package for version 4.3 of its supervisory reporting framework, and with it two build deadlines that reporting teams can no longer treat as roadmap items.

A non-EU bank that wants to keep taking deposits, lending, or issuing guarantees in an EU Member State through a branch now has a hard date to work toward: 11 January 2027. On 7 July 2026 the European Banking Authority published its final Guidelines on the authorisation of third-country branches (EBA/GL/2026/08), and they settle the…
The rulebook your ICAAP package, your ILAAP submission and your Pillar 2 reconciliation were written against is being repealed. On 26 June 2026 the European Banking Authority published its revised SREP guidelines (EBA/GL/2026/06), and from 1 January 2027 they replace both the existing SREP guidelines (EBA/GL/2022/03) and the standalone guidelines on ICT risk assessment under…
If you build COREP returns for an EU bank, the first thing to understand about the EBA’s June 2026 report is what it does not do. It does not change a single capital ratio you report next quarter. The report on EU bank capital framework simplification proposes design changes, not calibration changes, and most of…
Get a board appointment wrong in Luxembourg and the CSSF will tell you to fix it. That conversation is not one any institution wants to have, and under the proposed updated suitability guidelines, the scope of what “wrong” looks like just got wider. The joint ESMA-EBA consultation paper (ESMA35-243228190-8034 / EBA/CP/2026/03), published on 25 February…
If you run regulatory reporting for a third-country branch in the EU, your reporting workload is about to change substantially.
