Supervisory fees
The ECB covers the costs of its supervisory tasks and responsibilities by levying an annual fee on all supervised banks.
The ECB Regulation on supervisory fees lays down the methodology and procedure for the calculation and collection of the ECB annual supervisory fees. This section of the banking supervision website complements this process.

What are the fee factors?
Fee factors are data about a supervised bank used to calculate the annual supervisory fee.

A change in your bank’s situation, such as a change in supervisory status, withdrawal of authorisation or merger, could affect the supervisory fee.
