Employee counts, budgets, and supervised-entity numbers are drawn from each authority's most recent published annual report; values marked with a tilde (~) are rounded estimates. The Activity Index is ComplyBridge's proprietary, indicative composite measure of regulatory activity — see methodology. It is descriptive, not a quality judgment or a recommendation.

Authorities marked “Index pending” are not yet scored — published data is not currently sufficient. They are marked accordingly rather than estimated.

Last updated: 3 August 2026.

Competent authority by country and framework

Who regulates what, where.

The coverage matrix maps the competent authority for every European jurisdiction across five frameworks: banking (CRD/CRR), payments and e-money (PSD2 / EMD), investment firms (MiFID II), crypto-asset services (MiCA), and AML/CFT supervision (AMLD5/6, AMLR). Click any cell to open the authority's profile. Where a country splits authorisation between two bodies — France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK — the cell tags the split withL / P / Cfor licensing / prudential / conduct.

Coverage matrix — European financial regulators by country and framework (banking, payments, investment firms, MiCA, AML supervision).
