European Banking Authority and European Central Bank’s Joint Bank Reporting Committee opens call to join the Reporting Contact Group

The Joint Bank Reporting Committee (JBRC), established by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Central Bank (ECB), has opened a call for expressions of interest to fill vacancies in its Reporting Contact Group (RCG) and to create a reserve list. The RCG is a standing stakeholder forum for cooperation, exchange of views and sharing of best practices on banks’ supervisory, resolution and statistical reporting, with applications due by 28 April 2026 (23:59). The group has up to 22 members appointed by the JBRC for a three-year renewable mandate, with members expected to commit at least one full day per week and to provide independent expertise rather than represent their employer or national interests. Eligibility includes at least five years of senior practical experience in relevant banking reporting functions or related areas such as data modelling and standardisation, as well as a strong command of English; candidates may be excluded for conflicts of interest or serious misconduct. Membership is unpaid, and members are subject to professional secrecy and confidentiality requirements. After applications close, the JBRC will shortlist candidates meeting the mandatory criteria and appoint new members for the remainder of the current term, taking into account proportionality, participation, effectiveness and relevance, including banking-sector diversity and geographical and gender balance. Applicants will be informed of the outcome, the final RCG composition will be published on the EBA and ECB websites, and a reserve list will be maintained to fill future vacancies.
