Your Questions Answered
Who supervises banks in Austria?
Significant institutions are supervised directly by the ECB under the Single Supervisory Mechanism; the FMA and Oesterreichische Nationalbank supervise other credit institutions under the BWG and CRR/CRD.
What does banking compliance cover in Austria?
Prudential requirements and reporting, governance and fit-and-proper standards, AML/CFT under the FM-GwG, operational resilience under DORA, conduct obligations, and continuous SREP-driven supervisory review.
How long does authorisation take in Austria?
Most Austrian authorisations run several months to a year from submission, plus preparation. Complete, well-evidenced applications with credible governance move through review meaningfully faster.
Do you support firms after authorisation?
Yes. Most of our work is ongoing: compliance monitoring, regulatory change management, policy updates, reporting support, independent reviews, and training throughout the supervisory relationship.
Are your services advisory only?
Yes, deliberately. ABM Global Compliance never operates regulated businesses or holds client funds. We build, strengthen, and review your compliance arrangements while you remain the regulated operator.
