EBA deletes connected-client guideline sections after EU RTS applies

EU credit institutions must use the RTS for connected-client identification

Change
EBA partially deleted sections of its Guidelines on connected clients after Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1728 became directly applicable across the EU.
Why it matters
The change removes overlapping EBA guideline provisions because the binding RTS now defines when institutions must identify groups of connected clients. Credit institutions must align connected-client policies, risk systems and internal references with the directly applicable RTS and the consolidated EBA Guidelines.
Implications
  • — Credit-institution risk teams must apply Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1728 when identifying groups of connected clients.
  • — Compliance teams at EU credit institutions must remove references to deleted EBA guideline sections from policies, manuals and reporting templates.
  • — Credit-risk data and exposure-aggregation teams must align connected-client identification logic with the consolidated EBA Guidelines and directly applicable RTS.
Who is affected
  • — Credit-institution risk teams
  • — Compliance teams at EU credit institutions
  • — Credit-risk data and exposure-aggregation teams
What to watch
  • — EBA decision date: April 29, 2026
  • — Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1728
  • — Consolidated EBA Guidelines on connected clients

Got Questions?

Ask what this change means — grounded in this brief. Source linked for final checks.

Clarify™ · Grounded, not generic

Why not a general AI assistant?

A general assistant will answer almost anything — including beyond what it actually knows, which is where drift and hallucination come from. Ask it the same question twice and you can get two different answers — no good when you need a record you can stand behind.

Clarify™ works differently. It answers only from the specific brief in front of you and its cited primary source. Ask something the brief doesn’t cover and it says so, rather than inventing an answer — and the same question returns a consistent, grounded answer every time. The trade-off is deliberate: narrower, but defensible enough to act on.
