The EBA Consults On Revised Technical Standards For The Reclassification Of Investment Firms As Credit Institutions

Date 25/08/2026

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a consultation on three draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the reclassification of investment firms as credit institutions, when they exceed the EUR 30 billion total assets threshold. The proposals clarify how total assets should be calculated against this threshold, how investment firms should report this information to competent authorities, and the conditions under which competent authorities can decide to grant a waiver. The revised RTS reflect the 2024 amendments to the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and contribute to a more proportionate and risk-based application of the framework for investment firms. The consultation is open until 25 November 2026.
