Who supervises my bank?

The ECB oversees all significant and less significant banks in the participating countries through direct and indirect supervision.

The list of supervised entities is updated by the ECB regularly. It reflects banks’ status as at the given cut-off date. This date does not necessarily coincide with the date of the actual decision on a bank’s significance.

The introduction to the list of supervised entities provides information on the regulations underlying the regular review.
