Summary

What changed

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is seeking feedback on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) that define the minimum content required for suitability questionnaires, curriculum vitae (CVs), and internal suitability assessments. This consultation, identified by reference EBA/CP/2026/03, aims to standardize these crucial elements for assessing the suitability of individuals in key roles within financial institutions.

Regulated entities, particularly banks, financial advisers, fund managers, and public companies, should review the consultation paper and submit their responses by the deadline of May 25, 2026. The feedback received will inform the finalization of these standards, which will likely introduce specific content requirements for these assessment tools, impacting compliance processes and documentation.
