The European Banking Authority (EBA) published revised Guidelines on internal governance on 5 November 2026. These Guidelines require banks to enhance proportionality and simplify their regulatory frameworks while maintaining sound governance standards.
The revised Guidelines are based on the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and reflect changes introduced by CRD VI. The specific articles or sections cited in the Guidelines were not detailed in the material provided.
The Guidelines primarily apply to banks but may also affect crypto-asset service providers and payment institutions that interact with banks or are part of the financial ecosystem.
No specific deadlines or transitional periods were mentioned in the material. Compliance teams at affected entities should review the revised Guidelines to assess their implications for governance frameworks.
