About
The Single Resolution Board's mission

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) is the central resolution authority within the Banking Union, which at present is 20 eurozone countries and Bulgaria. Together with the national resolution authorities it forms the Single Resolution Mechanism. The SRB works closely with the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the European Banking Authority and national authorities. Its mission is to ensure an orderly resolution of failing banks, protecting the taxpayer from state bail-outs, which is promoting financial stability.

Resolution planning and policies

The SRB and the national resolution authorities work with banks and credit institutions to ensure everything is in place should a resolution be needed. This involves defining policy and guidance, managing an annual resolution planning cycle and setting targets for minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), MREL is one of the key tools in resolvability, ensuring that banks maintain a minimum amount of equity and debt to support an effective resolution.

Single Resolution Fund
What is the Single Resolution Fund?

The Single Resolution Fund (SRF) is an emergency fund that can be called upon in times of crisis. It can be used to ensure the efficient application of resolution tools for resolving the failing banks, after other options, such as the bail-in tool, have been exhausted. The SRF ensures that the financial industry as a whole ensures the stabilisation of the financial system. All banks across the 21 Banking Union countries must pay a fee annually by law to the SRF.
