Subject matter

These guidelines fulfil the mandate given to the EBA under Article 9(1) of Directive (EU) 2021/2167 to develop guidelines addressed to competent authorities on establishing and maintaining national lists or registers of authorised credit servicers. They specify the content, the accessibility requirements and the deadlines for updating the national lists or registers of authorised credit servicers, with a view to enhancing the level playing field across the Union and transparency for credit purchasers and for borrowers. For the purposes of these guidelines, one combined template is provided for a) notifications amongst competent authorities in relation to the list or register and b) the notifications in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive (EU) 2021/2167 as some elements of the lists or registers depend on the submission of the full information contained therein.
