Remuneration benchmarking (REM BM)

Data for the EBA's benchmarking of remuneration practices (module REM BM), under the CRD and IFD as implemented in the KWG, AnzV, WpIG and WpI-AnzV. Source

The facts

Who files
Credit institutions: CRR credit institutions or their superordinated undertakings, institutions under Section 53(1) KWG that take deposits, and large investment institutions (KWG, AnzV Section 9a). Investment firms: medium-sized investment institutions (WpIG, WpI-AnzV Section 9a). Each report type has its own scope; benchmarking and gender pay gap reports concern only a small number of institutions. Source
How often
Every year (submission deadline 15 June in each of 2024 to 2028 in the Bundesbank's table). Source
Deadline
15 June of the year after the reference date (31 December of the previous financial year), from reference date 31 December 2023. Source
Format
XBRL-XML, xBRL-CSV. The Bundesbank accepts only electronic reports via its ExtraNet in XBRL, through the file transfer mailbox 'PRISMA - submission of bank and financial supervisory reports (ITS / RTF / BGR / CONTACT)', after registering for that function in the 'Prudential returns' procedure; registering for the PRISMA feedback function gives access to automated validation reports. Nil reports are no longer needed. The accepted entry points list the module as REM_BM_CI and REM_BM_IF. Source
How it is filed
Filing routes recorded for the Bundesbank: PRISMA (Bundesbank reporting line for supervisory reports); ExtraNet; NExt. See how firms file with the Bundesbank.

Templates (0)

The library lists no templates for this return.

EU return: the templates and instructions are defined by the EBA. See the library's EBA entry eba/rem-bm-ci and eba/rem-bm-if (docs/eba/rem-bm-ci.md and docs/eba/rem-bm-if.md). German institutions use the EBA's templates and taxonomy; the Bundesbank publishes German reading versions of the forms. Source

Validation rules

The Bundesbank publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: EBA validation rules in the EBA reporting framework (see the EBA entry).

No REM-specific national rules were found in the PRISMA rule catalogue (version 1.5).

How they were counted

Not counted here: the EBA's validation rules apply (see eba/rem-bm-ci and eba/rem-bm-if).

Counts are in the Bundesbank's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
