The ECB covers the costs of its supervisory tasks and responsibilities by levying an annual fee on all supervised banks.
This section of the website has been updated to reflect the amendments to the ECB Regulation on supervisory fees which came into force on 1 January 2020, as well as related amendments to the overall feeing framework.
The main changes are as follows:

All supervised banks established in the participating Member States.
The fee is calculated according to the bank’s importance and risk profile. In principle, bigger banks with higher risk profiles pay higher fees.
There are various ways of paying the supervisory fee. Details are given in the annual fee notice.
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.
