Banking Compliance Advisory Services in Belgium

At ABM Global Compliance, we provide specialist Banking Compliance Advisory services that help banks navigate Belgium’s complex regulatory environment, strengthen governance, manage regulatory risk, and maintain ongoing compliance with Belgian and European banking legislation.
Supporting Banks Through Belgium's Evolving Regulatory Landscape
Belgium has one of Europe’s most mature and internationally connected banking sectors, operating within a robust regulatory framework designed to safeguard financial stability, consumer confidence, and market integrity. Belgian credit institutions are subject to a combination of national legislation and directly applicable European banking regulations that govern prudential supervision, governance, risk management, financial crime prevention, operational resilience, and regulatory reporting.

Your Questions Answered
Who supervises banks in Belgium?
Significant institutions are supervised directly by the ECB under the Single Supervisory Mechanism; the National Bank of Belgium supervises other credit institutions under the Banking Law of 25 April 2014.
What does banking compliance cover in Belgium?
Prudential requirements and reporting, governance and fit-and-proper standards, AML/CFT under the Belgian AML Law, operational resilience under DORA, FSMA conduct obligations, and continuous SREP-driven review.
How long does authorisation take in Belgium?
Most Belgian 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.
