Each institution counts once, in one country: the BIC country when it holds a BIC, otherwise the country of the register that lists it. Licences in other countries are shown on its page.
About ECB banking supervision
The ECB supervises the significant institutions of the countries in the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) directly. National authorities supervise the less significant institutions, under the ECB’s oversight.
An institution is significant on criteria set in the SSM Regulation: total assets above EUR 30 billion, importance for its country’s or the EU’s economy, significant cross-border activity, or direct public financial assistance. The three most significant institutions in each participating country are significant too.
The ECB publishes the list of supervised entities, with the ground for each significant institution’s classification.
Method and limits
The ECB list names legal entities. It is matched to the institutions that hold a BIC on the LEI.
An institution without an LEI mapped to its BIC is not matched, and institutions without a BIC are not counted here.
A supervised entity’s branches abroad share its LEI. Each is counted in the country of its own BIC. The list therefore reaches countries outside the SSM.
Sources & method
The ECB list is matched to BICs on the LEI. Institutions without an LEI mapped are not counted.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a counterparty
A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. Ask what it covers for the counterparties you deal with. Read about the FinCrime Index.
