EBA launches consultation on draft guidelines for managing non-ICT third-party risk

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has launched a public consultation on its draft Guidelines on the sound management of third-party risk with regard to non-information and communication technology (non-ICT) related services. The draft Guidelines address third-party arrangements involving the provision of critical or important functions by third-party service providers and their subcontractors. They revise and update the EBA’s 2019 Guidelines on outsourcing to reflect developments under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). A transitional period of two years is proposed for financial entities to review and amend existing third-party arrangements and update their non-ICT registers. Responses are sought by 8 October 2025 and a virtual public hearing will be held on 5 September 2025.

European Commission adopts Delegated Act regarding the list of high-risk third countries with deficient AML and CTF regimes

The European Commission has adopted a Delegated Regulation to amend the list of high-risk third countries laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675. The Delegated Act follows the recommendations of the international standard-setter, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Where a country’s membership to FATF is suspended because of gross violations of FATF’s core principles, the threat to the EU financial system is likely to increase. The Delegated Act requires the Commission to conclude an assessment of whether such a country is a high risk third country by 31 December 2025. The Delegated Regulation enters into force on the 20th day of its publication in the OJ.

PRA, FCA and Society of Lloyd's announce streamlined authorisation process for managing agents

Following a successful pilot exercise in 2024, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the Society of Lloyd’s (Lloyd’s) have jointly announced changes to streamline the regulatory approval process for Lloyd’s managing agents. While the PRA and FCA will retain their statutory decision-making roles, they will make greater use of Lloyd’s assessment work. The regulators consider that increased concurrent decision-making will reduce authorisation timeframes to approximately six months, down from the previous 12-18 months, without compromising regulatory standards. This change is expected to support the growth and competitiveness of both Lloyd’s and the wider London insurance market. Further details on the revised entry process will be communicated to prospective new entrants through the usual channels.
