Since the inception of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) banks who are struggling to respond to ECB supervision have wondered how they compare to their peers in meeting the requirements of their supervisors.

The KPMG Peer Bank tool is a benchmarking solution for banks. It uses modern technology to analyse data – publicly available from the European Banking Authority (EBA), as well as the users own data.

KPMG Peer Bank delivers comparative peer-to-peer insights for banks. It is designed to enable banks to answer the important question of “How does my bank compare to others?”. This can be done regionally, nationally, and by peer groups – pre-defined or customised.

KPMG Peer Bank has been built using data from the most recent EBA transparency exercises, which provide detailed bank-by-bank data on banks’ assets and liabilities, capital positions, risk exposure amounts, leverage exposures and sovereign exposures on over 125 banks across 27 countries from the European Union and European Economic Area.
