What this page covers

Covers every return listed for banks, building societies and PRA-designated investment firms on the Bank of England page "Banks, building societies and investment firms" (read on 11 November 2026: CRR data items and modules, the PRA data items PRA001 to PRA119, LVR001 and LVR002, PRA110, RFB001 to RFB008, the FSA data items, REP001, REP001a and REP002, the Branch Return, MLAR and interim intraday reporting), and every data item in the PRA Rulebook Parts that require them: Regulatory Reporting (Chapters 7 to 12, 17, 20, 22, 24 and 28), Reporting (CRR) (Annexes I to XXVII and the reduced FINREP Chapters 5A to 5F), Reporting Pillar 2, Remuneration (Chapters 17 and 18), Benchmarking of Internal Approaches, Close Links and Change in Control, plus the MREL returns MRL001 to MRL003 collected under SS19/13 and PS9/26. Returns that start on 1 January 2027 under Basel 3.1 and the simpler regime for small domestic deposit takers (SDDTs) are included as upcoming (PRA001, PRA112 to PRA114, PRA116 to PRA119). Left out: Bank of England statistical returns (Form BT and the other statistical forms, Form BTL buy-to-let data and Form MC on the BEEDS page) and credit union returns (Forms CQ and CY), which are out of scope for this file; Pillar 3 disclosure templates, which firms publish rather than file; notifications and applications (FINREP and accounting reference date notifications, capital instruments pre-issuance notification, close links and controller change notifications); documents firms prepare rather than standard returns (ICAAP, ILAAP, recovery plans and resolution packs); the mortgage sales data that Regulatory Reporting Chapter 23 requires firms to send to the FCA; insurance returns; FSA042 (UCITS), shown as deleted on the page; and RegData data items that the PRA lists do not name (for example COR018 COREP FRTB).

How firms file

  • BEEDS (Bank of England Electronic Data Submission portal)

    Online portal that manages formal regulatory and statistical data submissions between PRA-authorised firms and the Bank of England. Used for Capital+ (PRA101 to PRA103, then PRA112 to PRA118), leverage (LVR001, LVR002), MREL (MRL001 to MRL003), step-in risk (PRA115), the Pillar 2 data items FSA071 to FSA082, PRA111 and PRA119, interim intraday liquidity and the Branch Return. Source

  • RegData (Financial Conduct Authority)

    The FCA's data collection platform. The PRA says firms receive a schedule of which reports are due and when, and that CRD firms submit most reports required by the Regulatory Reporting, Close Links and Change in Control Parts through RegData, as well as their High Earners and Remuneration Benchmarking reports. COREP and FINREP are filed there on EBA taxonomy entry points. Source

The returns (81)

Plain name first, the PRA's code in brackets. Each return has its own page: what it is for, who files it, the deadline, the templates, the validation rules, the documents and the sources.

Data the PRA publishes from the returns

  • Banking sector regulatory capital

    Added up across firms · Web pages with charts and an Excel data table per quarter (for example table-2026-q2.xlsx)

    Quarterly statistical release (March, June, September and December, from 2014 Q1) of UK banking sector capital levels, risk-weighted assets and capital ratios, with breakdowns by tier of capital and risk type. Built from COREP CA1 (own funds) and CA2 (own funds requirements) on each reporter's highest consolidation basis. Latest read: 2026 Q2, published 30 September 2026. Source

    From: COR001a

    Reuse: No separate terms on the release pages. The Bank's general website terms apply (personal or internal non-commercial use); the Open Government Licence v3.0 applies only to data in the Bank of England Database, and the pages read do not say this release is in the Database.

  • Mortgage Lenders and Administrators Statistics

    Added up across firms · Web pages with summary and detailed Excel tables (mlar-longrun-summary.xlsx, mlar-longrun-detailed.xlsx)

    Quarterly statistical release, published jointly by the Bank and the FCA about 2.5 months after each quarter end, aggregated from MLAR returns of around 340 regulated mortgage lenders and administrators: balances, new advances and commitments, interest rates, lending criteria, impaired-credit lending, arrears and possessions. Latest read: 2026 Q2, published 8 September 2026. Source

    From: MLAR

    Reuse: No separate terms on the release pages; the Bank's general website terms apply.

Reuse terms for the PRA's documents

Bank of England website legal terms: Rules for using material from our website, checked 11 November 2026. In the PRA's words:

Unless otherwise stated, the copyright and any other rights in the contents of the Resources, including but not limited to images, text and data, are owned by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. [...] You may (and unless otherwise specifically stated, such as in the case of the Rulebook and the Database, where terms concerning re-use are set out below at ‘PRA Rulebook’ and ‘Bank of England Database’ respectively) download, display or print the Resources for personal use or internal use within an individual organisation for non-commercial purposes. The Bank typically grants permission for non-commercial re-use of the Resources, particularly in an academic or education context.
Can others share copies?
Not allowed.
Conditions
Personal use or internal use within one organisation, for non-commercial purposes only. Any other re-use needs the Bank's permission (request form on the legal page). PRA Rulebook content has its own terms of use, and data in the Bank of England Database are under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
What the library does
Keeps only the link, size and SHA-256 fingerprint of each document. The terms allow download, display or printing only for personal or internal non-commercial use and do not let others copy and redistribute the documents, so only links, sizes and SHA-256 hashes are kept.

What could not be verified

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

  • COR013 (resolution) and LIQ001 (funding plans): the PRA pages read name these modules but do not say who files them, how often or by when. The underlying requirements are EBA-derived, and EBA documents were not used as sources for this file.
  • COR009a, COR009b, COR010 (supervisory benchmarking): the Benchmarking of Internal Approaches Part requires annual reporting but no deadline was found on the pages read.
  • Templates are not listed (count 0) for COR009a, COR009b, COR010, COR013, COR014, COR015 and LIQ001: the PRA pages read do not list them; they are defined in EBA taxonomy modules.
  • Validation rules for the CRR (COREP and FINREP) returns are the EBA's for taxonomy 3.0 (2.10 for COR013), applied by RegData; they are not counted here because the PRA does not republish them.
  • PRA001 and PRA116 (from 1 January 2027): the pages read do not say whether they will be filed through BEEDS or RegData; the BEEDS entry point mapping read on 11 November 2026 does not list them yet.
  • Submission channel or file format not stated on the pages read for MLAR, reduced FINREP, the FSA data items filed under the Regulatory Reporting Part (FSA005, FSA011, FSA015, FSA016, FSA017, FSA019, FSA038) and REP001, REP001a and REP002; the PRA says most such reports go through RegData.
  • MREL frequency and deadlines are taken from the BEEDS MREL reporting schedule 2026; supervisory statement SS19/13, which sets the MREL reporting expectations, was not read.
  • Interim intraday reporting (IDY001 to IDY003) is described by the PRA as a voluntary interim arrangement for firms contacted by their supervisor; how many firms still report it is not stated.
  • FSA047 and FSA048 are still linked from the BoE page but were terminated after the PRA110 dual-running period (PS1/19) and are not in the current Regulatory Reporting Part; recorded as discontinued.
  • For several items the BoE page and the PRA Rulebook link different files (PRA101 to PRA108 and RFB001 templates, COREP Annex II, large exposures Annex IX, NSFR Annex XIII, leverage Annex XI). Both are recorded as documents; where the files are byte-identical, only one URL is kept and the other is named in a note.
  • The FSA005 template for 2027 (Regulatory Reporting rule 28.2) is linked with a .xlsx address but the server returns a PDF; recorded with file_type pdf.
  • Validation checks printed in the FSA instructions PDFs (FSA005, FSA015, FSA016, FSA017, FSA019, FSA038, FSA047, FSA048) were not counted.
  • The PRA Rulebook site (https://www.prarulebook.co.uk/legal) has stricter terms than the Bank's legal page: "You must not distribute copies or downloads made to third parties, or sell such copies or downloads to otherwise circulate for profit, unless the extracts or copies are provided to individual third parties incidental to advice provided by you." and "You must not use any part of the content on our site for commercial purposes (either in print or online) without obtaining a licence to do so from us." Rulebook pages are therefore linked only.
  • The Bank of England legal page puts data in the Bank of England Database under the Open Government Licence v3.0; the aggregate releases recorded here are not stated to be in the Database, so no samples were saved.
  • The FCA RegData entry point mapping also lists COR018 (COREP FRTB) and older items (COR001b, COR003, COR004, COR006, COR007, COR009) that the PRA lists do not name; they are left out.
