AMLA sign-up closes Sunday as ESMA, Fed and Basel set clocks running into 2027
A forward-looking map of the deadlines that actually bite in the coming days and weeks. The imminent item is AMLA's Frankfurt roundtable sign-up, due this Sunday. Further out, ESMA, the Fed, Basel and the SRB all started clocks this week, and several of the earliest-biting obligations carry the least public attention. Here is the sequence worth calendaring.
- AMLA expressions of interest for its simplified-CDD Frankfurt roundtables are due 18 October 2026 at 23h59 CEST, an input stage with no draft to react to.
- ESMA fixed 7 December 2026 as the first binding date for electronic, standardised allocation and confirmation messaging, roughly ten months before T+1 settlement arrives on 11 October 2027.
- The Fed's two Genius Act stablecoin rulemakings carry a 30 November comment deadline; ABA, BPI, CBA and ICBA have asked to move it to 29 January.
- Basel's consultation on treating European Banking Union cross-border exposures closes 14 January 2027, while its EUR 350 billion G-SIB reporting threshold applies from 2027.
- The SRB discontinued its quarterly MREL eligibility sign-off form with immediate effect and moves bank-specific resolvability reporting to a three-year cycle from 2027.
