Pillar 2 requirement

The Pillar 2 requirement is a bank-specific capital requirement which supplements the minimum capital requirement (known as the Pillar 1 requirement) in cases where the latter underestimates or does not cover certain risks. A bank’s Pillar 2 requirement is determined as part of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). It is legally binding, and if banks fail to comply they could be subject to supervisory measures, including sanctions.

To find out more about how the ECB sets the Pillar 2 requirement for banks, take a look at the dedicated web page on the methodology used. The Pillar 2 requirement does not encompass the risk of excessive leverage, which is covered by the leverage ratio Pillar 2 requirement.

In addition to complying with both the Pillar 2 requirement and the leverage ratio Pillar 2 requirement, banks are expected to follow the Pillar 2 guidance and the leverage ratio Pillar 2 guidance set by the ECB. Unlike the Pillar 2 requirement, the Pillar 2 guidance is not legally binding and merely reflects supervisory expectations.

Under EU regulation, large banks are required to disclose their Pillar 2 requirements on an annual basis.

Additionally, the ECB publishes the consolidated Pillar 2 requirements of all the banks it supervises. The table below shows the applicable Pillar 2 requirements and leverage ratio Pillar 2 requirements for these banks in 2024 and 2025, and as of 2026. The figures displayed are based on the latest supervisory decision (SREP decision) notified on the reference date below. The ECB may take a new supervisory decision changing the applicable Pillar 2 requirements at any point in time; such changes will be reflected in the table. In addition, on a case-by-case assessment, some banks will not receive new Pillar 2 requirements. Consequently, the Pillar 2 requirements from the last SREP decision remain applicable. The cases are highlighted with a footnote in the table below.

All banks listed in the table below have consented to the publication of their Pillar 2 requirements and leverage ratio Pillar 2 requirements and can withdraw their consent at any time.

The table was last updated on 18 November 2025.
