European Financial Regulatory Commission contribute to keeping the banking system safe and sound. We do this so that you can rest assured that banks can weather a crisis.

Consistent and standardised supervision throughout the euro area helps keep your money safe and ensures that banks can perform their vital functions and grant loans to people and firms.

Supervising banks and other financial agencies is a great responsibility. To fulfil this task, we need to be independent in our decision-making. But that does not mean that we can do whatever we want.

We are fully accountable to the European Parliament and the EU Council and regularly report on our decisions.
