European Central Bank Banking Supervision has published an updated list of supervised entities under the Single Supervisory Mechanism. The update shows 110 significant entities directly supervised by the European Central Bank and sets out the less significant supervised entities that remain under national supervision within the ECB framework. It reflects significance decisions that had become effective, and group structure changes recorded, up to 1 May 2026. The update incorporates several notable changes since the previous version. Crédit lyonnais' acquisition on 30 April 2026 of Compagnie Financière Holding Milléis, Cholet Dupont Oudart and Milleis Banque brought those entities into the significant supervised group headed by Crédit Agricole S.A., with ECB direct supervision applying from 30 May 2026. The list also records the 20 April 2026 merger of Banca Popolare di Sondrio into BPER Banca S.p.A., the lapse of NatWest Bank Europe GmbH's licence on 30 April 2026, and a series of Finnish cooperative bank mergers. In addition, the public list continues to identify approved or exempted financial and mixed financial holding companies and flags high-impact less significant institutions.
