Under the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), introduced in 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) was granted a supervisory role to monitor the financial stability and central control of over 6,000 credit institutions in the Eurozone. Under the SSM, banks face a new set of challenges to meet new supervisory standards beyond those of their national supervisors.

KPMG’s ECB Office provides you with the latest information and assistance with SSM related issues. Our ECB Office combines the expertise from KPMG’s International network of banking professionals and former regulators, to bring you solutions for dealing with the ECB supervisory approach.
