Administrative Contributions

Although the SRB is an independent EU agency, it is not publicly funded. Instead, banks operating across the Banking Union must pay an annual levy towards the running costs of the SRB.

The determination and raising of Administrative Contributions is based on the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2361 of 14 September 2017 on the final system of contributions to the administrative expenditures of the Single Resolution Board, which came into force on 8 January 2018 and was amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/517 of 11 February 2021. Some changes have been introduced from the 2022 administrative contributions cycle onwards. The SRB will calculate and raise individual annual contributions in Q3. Additionally, the SRB can raise advance instalments in order to pre-finance its expenditures of the financial year until the annual individual contributions are raised in Q3.

All credit institutions established in the Banking Union must contribute to the administrative expenditures of the SRB. The same holds true for all parent undertakings (including financial holding and mixed financial holding companies), investment firms and financial institutions that are covered by the consolidated supervision of the ECB.

The administrative contributions cycle

Individual annual contributions are calculated and raised in Q3/Q4 each year. In order to pre-finance its expenditures for the part of the financial year preceding the point at which the annual individual contributions are raised, the Board raises advance instalments on the individual annual contributions in Q1 (only from the institutions under the SRB’s direct remit).

Consultation procedure

A structured consultation with the institutions takes place as part of the decision-making process before the adoption of both the decision on the advance instalments and the decision on the individual annual contributions.

The consultation on the advance instalments takes place in the second half of January. The consultation on the individual annual contributions takes place between  the end of June and the beginning of July each year. A notification is sent via email to inform institutions of the exact dates of the consultation. Both consultations take place on the ADMC Portal.

Entities and groups have the possibility to provide their views on the preliminary determinations. In particular, the institutions are given the opportunity to provide comments on any aspects of the determination of the contributions that they consider pertinent. For the final decision, the SRB carefully assess any comments received during the consultation period. The SRB considers that the consultation allows to better structure the dialogue with the institutions in scope and facilitate the decision-making process.

The Administrative Contributions (ADMC) Portal

The SRB has developed the ADMC Portal to improve the communication with institutions regarding the contributions to the administrative expenditures of the Board.

Institutions are requested to use the ADMC Portal to:

  • Verify/update their contact details;
  • Provide any comments they may have during the consultation;
  • Retrieve all documents related to the administrative contributions;
  • Add/delete their users independently in the portal, and
  • Report any specific changes to their situation (e.g. change of name, merger/acquisition).

All institutions in scope receive an information letter via email with detailed instructions on how to access the ADMC Portal.
