SRB sets April 2028 deadline for banks to fold communication guidance into resolution plans

The Single Resolution Board has finalised operational guidance on how banks communicate when they are failing, plus a supplement on testing those capabilities. It sets no new rules but clarifies existing resolvability expectations and gives banks a date by which to reflect them in their communication plans. Useful for anyone managing Banking Union resolution readiness and tracking the SRM Vision 2028 shift toward operational testing.

• SRB published final communication guidance plus a testing supplement; neither sets new requirements but clarifies the Expectations for Banks Communication dimension.
• Banks have until April 2028 to reflect the operational considerations in their communication plans where needed.
• Both documents follow a public consultation held between 17 October and 12 December 2025 and are aligned with the EBA resolvability framework.
