Coverage · Credit institutions

The banking regime, operationalised.

CRD VI and CRR III reshaped the rulebook: 43 obligations across nine domains, layered on top of every EU framework a bank already runs. ComplyBridge tracks the policy and the limit, surfaces what overlaps with frameworks you already operate, and keeps the artefact set audit-ready between cycles. The calculation engine stays where it belongs: in your treasury and risk systems.

The framework

What changed with CRD VI and CRR III?

Banking is the framework with the largest overlap surface in EU finance. A typical credit institution already operates AML/CFT, DORA, GDPR, the EU AI Act, MiFID II and PSD2, and 15 of the 43 CRD VI / CRR III obligations resolve to templates already shipped under those regimes. ComplyBridge surfaces the overlaps explicitly so you author 25 new documents, not 43.

The remaining work (credit risk policy, IRRBB, operational risk framework, ESG risk integration, fit-and-proper, governance, recovery and resolution) is where ComplyBridge does the heavy lifting. Each obligation maps to a monitored control with cadence, owner and status. ICAAP, ILAAP and the Recovery Plan get structured scaffolds; your teams populate the analysis.

Governance & authorisation
Programme of operations, qualifying holdings, fit-and-proper for key function holders under CRD Article 91, three-lines-of-defence charter.
Risk policies
Credit risk, concentration, IRRBB, liquidity framework, operational risk: qualitative frameworks, not the underlying ratio engine.
ICAAP, ILAAP, Recovery
Structured scaffolds for the three periodic deliverables (process, governance, evidence, sign-off), populated with the bank's own analysis.
Conduct & consumer
MiFID II conduct suite, market abuse, mortgage credit, consumer credit (CCD2), payment accounts (PAD), complaints framework.
Resolution & DGS
Recovery plan lifecycle, resolvability cooperation, MREL position monitoring, depositor-information procedure under the DGSD.
Supervisory reporting governance
COREP, FINREP and AnaCredit submission cycles: calendar adherence and data-quality sign-off, not the calculation pipeline.

Which door you're walking through.

Four ways a credit institution meets the regime. What you owe the supervisor depends on which one is yours.

CREDIT INSTITUTION AUTHORISATION

Deposit-taking and lending. Full authorisation under CRD, €5M minimum initial capital, granted by the ECB for every euro-area bank on the national authority's proposal.

SIGNIFICANT OR LESS SIGNIFICANT

Above €30bn in assets, or otherwise significant, you are supervised directly by the ECB through a Joint Supervisory Team. Below it, by your national authority under ECB oversight.

THIRD-COUNTRY BRANCH

CRD VI harmonises the regime from 11 January 2027: a branch authorisation in each member state you enter, with capital endowment, booking and reporting rules set at EU level, and no passport.

CLASS 1 INVESTMENT FIRM

Investment firms dealing on own account or underwriting with consolidated assets above €30bn are credit institutions under the CRR and must be authorised as such.

Nine domains. One register.

Every obligation in the register sits in one of nine domains, each with a legal reference, review cadence, second-line owner and status.

02Governance
03Risk
04AML/CFT
05ICT & operational resilience
06Conduct
07Data & AI
08Recovery & resolution
09Supervisory reporting

15 of the 43 obligations resolve to templates already shipped under AML/CFT, DORA, GDPR, the AI Act, MiFID II and PSD2. The remaining 25 are authored; ICAAP, ILAAP and the Recovery Plan get structured scaffolds.

The path

Getting to a working banking obligations stack.

The first six months get the register live and the policy pack authored. After that, the rhythm is cadence-driven: annual reviews, on-change notifications, periodic deliverables.

Ingest the register

All 43 obligations ingested under the banking namespace with cadence, default owner, and applicability flags from your entity profile.

Reconcile overlaps

The 15 link items resolve to your existing AML/CFT, DORA, GDPR, AI Act, MiFID II and PSD2 templates. Surface the gaps before authoring anything new.

Author the 25, scaffold the 3

The generator produces the standalone policies and procedures with parent-child structure; ICAAP, ILAAP and Recovery shells await your analysis.

Operate the rhythm

The tracker drives annual reviews, on-change notifications and the supervisory reporting calendar. Board pack and JST-ready exports one click away.

How ComplyBridge helps

Built for the bank that runs more frameworks than anyone.

Overlap engine

Surfaces the 15 obligations your existing AML/CFT, DORA, GDPR, AI Act, MiFID II and PSD2 templates already satisfy. No banking-specific clones, no duplicate authoring.

Policies Generator & scaffolds

25 new authored documents (governance framework, credit risk policy, IRRBB, operational risk, ESG, conduct procedures, supervisory reporting) with the right parent-child structure, plus structured shells for ICAAP, ILAAP and the Recovery Plan.

Tracker per obligation

Review cadence, second-line owner, status workflow and audit trail, filtered by your entity flags so the register is always sized to the bank you actually are.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does ComplyBridge calculate own funds, RWA, LCR, NSFR, or the leverage ratio?
No, and deliberately so. Prudential calculation lives in treasury and risk systems with the right data lineage and review controls. ComplyBridge tracks the policy and the limit (the framework, the cadence, the sign-off) and links to your calculation source for the underlying numbers. Trying to be both would make us bad at both.
