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 in the first week of every month. It reflects all decisions about banks’ significance status that entered into force up to the cut-off date.

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