Article 4 Payment of annual supervisory fees

Summary What does Article 4 of the Fees charged by the EBA say?

This article sets out the practical mechanics of how the annual supervisory fee, calculated under Article 2, is to be paid.

It covers the payment deadline, invoicing requirements, the consequences of late payment, and the channel through which the EBA and issuers must communicate.

Important points:

Pay the annual supervisory fee in full to the EBA no later than 31 March of the relevant calendar year, in euro.
The EBA is required to issue invoices at least 30 days before the payment deadline, giving issuers advance notice.
Late payments will incur default interest, and all communications with the EBA must be conducted by electronic means.
