Fit and Proper Guide and new Fit and Proper Questionnaire

As of 15 June 2021, the European Central Bank (ECB) will launch a public consultation on draft Fit and Proper Guide and the New Fit and Proper Questionnaire.

Fit and Proper Guide builds on the ECB guide to fit and proper assessments last revised in May 2018. With its publication, the ECB aims to further its goal of full transparency by providing further details on its fit and proper assessment and policy stances as well as on its supervisory expectations. The ECB's aim is also to raise the bar for fit and proper supervision and the efficiency of the suitability assessment process.

In addition, the new Fit and Proper Questionnaire has been updated to address calls from the industry for simplification and streamlining and to reflect new policies and practices developed since the last publication of the Questionnaire in 2016. The new Fit and Proper Questionnaire aims to streamline the necessary requests for information from the supervised entity and the appointee and to increase efficiency and harmonisation across European banking supervision, while enabling better data quality and use of digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

Deadline for submitting comments: midnight CET on 2 August 2021.

Only comments received before this deadline will be considered.
