In forceBanks and investment firms: resolution fund contributions (EU, SRB)Last checked 11 November 2026

Bank levy data report to the Single Resolution Fund (Bankenabgabe, SRB form)

A regulatory return listed by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) (BaFin), Germany.

Institutions give the resolution authority the institution data in Annex II of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/63 and their last adopted annual accounts with the auditor's report, so their annual contribution can be calculated; for CRR credit institutions and group investment firms under ECB supervision the collection is run with the Single Resolution Board.
