LMA publishes joint paper on the implementation of the branch requirement under CRD VI

15 September 2025

Together with Bank Policy Institute (BPI), the Swiss Finance Council, UK Finance, the UK Association of Foreign Banks (AFB), the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), and the Japanese Bankers Association (JBA), the LMA has published a position paper on EU Member States’ implementation of the branch requirement under CRDVI. 

This paper is intended to:

  • highlight the approach that we believe best aligns national transposition with the policy intent behind CRD VI; and
  • identify areas where certain transposition proposals or interpretations to date appear to have inadvertently diverged from the Level 1 text or policy intent.
