Compliance Pressure Is Rising for Banks
Compliance in Italy means mastering two layers at once. European banking runs on the SSM, the EBA single rulebook, and annual SREP scrutiny, with AMLA now reshaping financial crime supervision. Beneath it, Italian banking combines major groups with hundreds of cooperative banks, supervised by Banca d’Italia within the SSM, and consolidation keeps reshaping compliance structures.
Supervisory findings compound quickly for banks: governance scores colour capital decisions, AML weaknesses invite inspections, and reporting errors erode credibility. In a market shaped by a triple-supervisor structure amid ongoing consolidation, Banca d’Italia has little patience for arrangements imported unchanged from elsewhere. Remediation under supervisory pressure costs multiples of prevention. Our consultants build compliance for Italy specifically.

Banking Compliance Questions Answered
How does AMLA affect European banks?
The new EU anti-money laundering authority directly supervises the highest-risk institutions and sets standards that will reshape AML expectations for every European bank.
Who supervises banks in the EU?
Significant institutions are supervised directly by the ECB under the Single Supervisory Mechanism, while Banca d’Italia supervise less significant institutions under ECB oversight.
What does banking compliance cover?
Prudential requirements, governance, conduct obligations, AML/CFT frameworks, your regulatory reporting, and operational resilience, all assessed continuously through SREP cycles and supervisory inspections.
Can you support smaller and challenger banks?
Yes. We scale support to lean teams, giving smaller institutions senior your compliance capability without the cost of building large internal functions.
Do you help during supervisory inspections?
Absolutely. We prepare institutions for SREP interactions, thematic reviews, and on-site inspections, then support management through the resulting findings, action plans, and remediation work afterwards.
