Bank of Israel (Banking Supervision Department): regulatory returns

What this page covers

One return per directive in the Supervisor of Banks' 'Reporting to Banking Supervision' directives (הוראות הדיווח לפיקוח), taken from the Bank's own list: directive 801, table of contents by subject and by directive number, update 118 (November 2026), as reprinted in circular C-06-2865. That list has 51 reports, 807 to 889C, and all are covered. The XBRL taxonomy is organised the same way: the Bank's taxonomy documentation says every directive is a separate framework, usually with one module (entry point) per directive. Left out: the reference directives 801 (contents), 802 (general guidelines), 803 (reporting tables and deadlines), 896 (list of banking corporations) and 897 (key to circulars), which are not reports; the Public Reporting Directives (הוראות הדיווח לציבור), except that the published financial statements filed to the supervisor are covered under 850; Proper Conduct of Banking Business directives, which are covered only through the reporting directives that carry out their reporting duties (808, 809, 826, 840, 868, 880); and directives seen only in older taxonomy notes but not in the November 2026 list (815 related persons, 871 foreign currency deposits and transfers). Filers are 'banking corporations': banks, foreign banks, credit card companies and acquirers, joint service companies, auxiliary corporations and systemically important payment service providers, as each directive states.

How firms file

The library records no filing system for the Bank of Israel. Each return's page gives its format and how it is sent, where the regulator says.

Reuse terms for the Bank of Israel's documents

Copyright notice in Bank of Israel publications (© Bank of Israel); the website terms of use could not be read, checked 11 November 2026. In the Bank of Israel's words:

Passages may be cited provided source is specified.

Can others share copies?

Unclear.

Conditions

Cite the source. The Bank's publications reserve copyright and allow quoting passages; they do not say whole documents may be copied. The Banking Supervision Department's own annual review carries the same terms in Hebrew: 'זכויות היוצרים בפרסום זה שמורות לבנק ישראל. הרוצים לצטט רשאים לעשות כן, בתנאי שיציינו את המקור.' ('Copyright in this publication is reserved to the Bank of Israel. Those wishing to quote may do so, provided they cite the source.') Source: https://boi.org.il/media/psgdvces/%D7%A1%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%AA-%D7%9E%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9B%D7%AA-%D7%94%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%A7%D7%90%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%9C%D7%A9%D7%A0%D7%AA-2025-003.pdf. The website terms of use (https://www.boi.org.il/website_terms/ and https://boi.org.il/en/terms-of-use) answer automated requests with a browser-verification page and could not be read.

What the library does

Keeps only the link, size and SHA-256 fingerprint of each document. The notices that could be read reserve copyright to the Bank of Israel and permit only citing passages with the source, and the governing terms of use page could not be read. That does not clearly allow others to copy and redistribute the documents, so only links, sizes and hashes are kept.

What could not be verified

Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.

• Every boi.org.il HTML page tried (including https://www.boi.org.il/roles/supervisionregulation/xbrl/, https://www.boi.org.il/roles/supervisionregulation/report_to_sup/, each directive page, https://www.boi.org.il/website_terms/ and https://boi.org.il/en/terms-of-use) answers automated requests with a browser-verification page (HTTP 200 with no content), seen 2026-11-11, for both a plain request and the fetch tool. It was not worked round. Files under https://www.boi.org.il/media/ are served normally; directive and circular PDFs were located through the site's sitemap.xml and a limited web search. Page URLs in this file therefore answer 200 but their content was not read.
• XBRL taxonomy package: the package itself, the current architecture document (26.03.2026), the summary of changes to the latest version and the instance-writing guidelines are linked only from https://www.boi.org.il/roles/supervisionregulation/xbrl/, so their file addresses could not be found. The assertions were not counted and template lists come from the directive texts. The XBRL Formula 1.0 and Table Linkbase basis is taken from the older English taxonomy documentation.
• Taxonomy version: the task brief gives version 34.0 (April 2026), but circular C-06-2861 (14 October 2026) says taxonomy package 35 was published on 23 September 2026, and the version 35 change summary is dated 30.09.2026. Neither package could be downloaded.
• Directive PDFs could not be located for 802 (general guidelines) and for reports 807, 810C, 811, 813, 814, 817, 818, 820, 823A, 824, 828, 830, 832, 833, 836, 838, 839, 842, 844, 846, 850, 865, 869, 875, 877, 878, 879, 881 and 883. For these, who files, frequency and deadline come from the table of contents (801) and the deadlines table (803, update 134), and templates are not listed (865 uses the 2019 taxonomy notice). A file https://boi.org.il/media/s5ugqaee/883.pdf found by search now answers 404.
• Where the file format is not confirmed (values 'Other'), the directive may still have an XBRL module; this could not be checked without the taxonomy package.
• Conflicts between the Bank's own documents: directive 821 says 25 days after month end but 803 says 30 days; directive 840 (March 2024) says monthly, within 10 business days, but 801 and 803 still say quarterly (803: 30 days after the quarter); 844 is 'quarterly' in 801 and the taxonomy 35 notes but 'monthly' in 803's deadline column. The directive text is used where it was read.
• Directive versions read are those reprinted in circulars; some may have been amended since (for example 825, read in its June 2023 version, and 809A, read in its September 2023 version).
• The enabling legal provisions for the reporting directives are not stated in the documents read, so legal_basis is given only where a directive names a Proper Conduct of Banking Business directive.
• Public data: the Bank's pages describing its statistics (for example https://www.boi.org.il/roles/statistics/banking/the_financialreports/financialreports_banks/) block automated access; dataset facts were read from the statistics API at edge.boi.gov.il. The link between datasets and directives rests on each series' DP_DIRECTIVE attribute. No sample files were saved because the reuse terms do not clearly allow redistribution.
• 803 names individual Bank staff as contacts for each report; those names are personal data and are not reproduced.
• The statistics API host edge.boi.gov.il serves a certificate chain that ends in a newer public root certificate, trusted by the operating system store but missing from some older CA bundles (including /private/etc/ssl/cert.pem on the machine used). Clients using such a bundle get a certificate verification error; with the system root store all edge.boi.gov.il URLs answered 200 on 2026-11-11.
